A perfect mix of humour and dark

This movie wasn't at all what I expected. I chose it based solely on the fact that it starred Park Seo Joon. I briefly looked over the synopsis, but the trailer wouldn't load. I went straight in to watching it, and was definitely not disappointed. This is my first review, so bare with me.

The drama featured a perfect mix of humour and seriousness. The film starts off with the background to the leads and how their friendship formed, which was not at all boring. The MLs shared a close bond, that as a lonely k-drama/k-movie lover, I was very envious of. A comical duo played extremely well by the actors, a very genuine portrayal of friendship. The humorous and bromantic moments shared by the ML's made up for the angst or negative emotions or moments further along in the film. The MLs were well-written, their 'personalities' were something I'd say the world needs more of. Kind, caring, genuine, and trustworthy.

Though the plot took darker turns, it touched on issues that are still problems today (a very real and might I say scary ones at that), and showed the difficulty law officials face when picking and choosing which cases should be prioritised. At many moments in the movie, I was angry and annoyed at the system of 'following protocol'. At times it appeared to me that it was conflicting morals and values.

The plot was simple and easy to understand, which is the beauty of this movie. It was easy to follow, and there weren't tons of tiny details crucial to the plot, you wouldn't get caught up in trying to piece it together. It was straightforward, and from the start you knew who the good/bad guys were. Because of this, it might be harder to rewatch, the plot would for most, easily remembered, yet this doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the film.

There wasn't any gore. Some scenes, I did turn away, based on my fear of needles. But nothing hardcore or extremely bloody.

Midnight Runners is a easy-going movie, perfect for a Friday night. As I said earlier, it touches on darker subjects but is balanced out by the leading comical duo. Would definitely recommend. 10/10
