Midnight Runners' only issue is that the action doesn't really pick up until around the second half of the movie. I mean, ignoring a very real, serious issue just because protocol had to be followed? I was about to tear my hair out. Also, it was INFURIATING, and I do mean infuriating at one part. ![]() It balanced Ki Joon and Hee Yeol's light, easygoing antics with the gross (and tbh, kind of scary) villains. Midnight Runners was a great example of what a buddy-cop movie should be (though if you want a super serious police procedural, this isn't it). They played off of each other, and after hearing that they ad-libbed quite a bit during the movie I was sold - that friendship did not seem like acting at all. Ki Joon and Hee Yeol's brain-brawn dynamic made for a wild ride, and I can't think of anyone else that would have delivered like these two did. As reluctant police academy students, they were the best of bros and I was 100% here for it. Kang Ha Neul and Park Seo Joon just work SO WELL together. It didn't need to be hard to understand, all it had to do was make the viewer smile, laugh and maybe even forget about their troubles - and it got the job done. The plot wasn't the most original or complicated but it didn't matter. ![]() Rewatch Value 9.0 I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while.
