    Really good.

    Wow. This one surprised me. I did not go into this movie expecting much, and it turned out to be a blast, and one of the better movies I've seen in a while. The movie starts out as a comedy, then becomes a mystery thriller, and then finally there is action (there is one smaller action scene during the mystery thriller bit as well). There is drama and morals as well. The movie is hilariously funny throughout though, and the chemistry between the two (student) buddy-cop main characters is perfect. It's these last two things that really make the movie stand out, I laughed out loud several times. And even better, something none of the other reviewers have commented on, and so I assume they didn't notice (they probably didn't watch until the end of the credits like I did), the end of the movie credits confirm that there will be a sequel with the words "The Midnight Runners will return" (sounds just like what they say at the end of pretty much every Marvel movie, right? ;-))! That makes me happy, and I will be sure to keep an eye out for the next movie in the series. So anyway, do yourselves a favour and watch this one!

    P.S: To the one moron who talked crap about this movie and gave it 2/10 stars...People like you make me lose faith in humanity. -_- *shakes head*

    Fresh And Realistic

    Script is rather standard, jokes are a bit Asian and manga like. But hey, this is a Korean movie! This is not US action flick. This is heart- warming, fun action-drama about the right choices. And doing them just because you believe. Yes, characters lack depth, yes some non-Asian viewers might not like the humour, the child-like faces. The rest will enjoy a story in which doing the right thing is the most important thing. Instead of showing young people how cool is to have money, even by making them from drugs and crime, it's better to show them that happiness can be much more meaningful when it comes from within ourselves. Decent story- check. Nice camera work - check, fun - check, high-morals - check. Enjoyable - check.

    100% recommended , one of the top three K-movies this year.

    The movie is just one of the best Korean movies i'v ever watched, it is funny, fiiled with action and purposeful add to that it tells a story about Human trafficking which surprisingly is not just an Asia problem but A worldwide one.

    The movie plot is strong and well connected,, it started with funny, silly and witty comical jokes but then things got a bit more tense after the "Kidnapping" yet still it had some moments where the guys acts in a stupid silly way where you couldn't help but giggle a little .

    The casting is amazing, Seo-Joon Park "Hwang Ki-joon" and Ha-Neul Kang "Kang Hee-yeol" were perfect together considering they both had a huge experience on TV before getting into the Film business ,,, Also not forgetting to mention Dong-il Sung "Professor Yang" i think i watched once before in Chronicle of a Blood Merchant, and he was really good.

    at the end, and like all Korean movies i have watched, after all of the fun and laughs things get more tense and emotional which is exactly what i love about these type of comedy/Action movies.

    Final thought, 100% Recommended , watch it now, because there's a huge possibility for a sequel ;)

    A perfect blend of reality and humor.

    The movie was a perfect blend of reality and humor. Most of us we can relate ourselves with the jokes of the movie because those are the simple things which we do in life among close friends, this is the point why the script feels real and lively. The enthusiasm of a young cadet, desperation to get a girl and at the end the commitment shown in the movie is very precisely depicted. Loved it to the core. At the beginning the movie was all humor and fun but amidst that scenario the later is able to draw us into a serious crime fighting zeal with the flow of strong emotions. Apart from that the reality the script is able to associate with the reluctance of bureaucratic measures are precised. Hence a perfect blend of reality and humor.
