A film set in the dark, horrible and violent of South Korea.
The big highlight of "Midnight Runners" is the cast; Park Seo Joon and Kang Ha Neul have fantastic chemistry and their scenes are effortless and overly fun. Their comedic timing, delivery and the way they acted out of each other's lines is incredible. History is not the most naive or complex, but functional. It's a simple story about two young police academy cadets who do not have a very strong reason or desire to become police officers and who unwittingly find themselves in a situation that requires them to demonstrate the moral fiber and courage that one would expect to find in a future police officer. It's simple, reliable and, most importantly, very fun.
