3/4
An entertaining cop-buddy film, “Midnight Runners” does a great job of blending comedy with action, while delving into the world of human trafficking and organ harvesting. The film is driven by the camaraderie between leads Park Seo-joon and Kan Ha-neul. Go to Full Review

Bianca L Jul 20 While funny, the plot progression makes zero sense. Logic is out the window from the get-go. All the conclusions are out of convenience. All the "setbacks" are plot devices. It's hard not to raise my hands to the air and yell at the screen. See more Steve C 05/20/2024 Nice Korean police academy. There needs to be a death penalty for human trafficking and organ harvesters; at all levels from the kidnappers to the surgeons. See more James J 04/01/2024 Great movie. Lots of action and fast paced. If you understand Korean humor then this is a must see. See more Priscilla M 12/23/2023 "Midnight Runners" is a Korean movie that totally blew me away! The chemistry between Park Seo Jun and Kang Ha Neul is absolutely fantastic. Their performances are so natural and engaging, making it easy to get invested in their characters. The film strikes a perfect balance between comedy and action, keeping me entertained throughout. The story is fast-paced and filled with unexpected twists, making it an exciting watch. If you're a fan of buddy cop movies with a touch of humor, "Midnight Runners" is definitely a must-watch! See more Ameer H 12/04/2023 Well, this film is just so good for me. It has some comedy along with action. i must recommend everyone to see this masterpiece once in a life. This film won't bore anyone. See more Cookie M 10/26/2023 This movie's 2 main characters balanced eachother. Two young cadets wanting to do the right thing regardless of the repercussions. Enjoyed See more Read all reviews
