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.

An exhilarating, funny, and thrilling ride. It's one of the best action comedies since Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour.

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.
