Storyline

Seung-woo, who is a 20-year veteran rock musician, forms a band named ‘The Monotones’. But the first vocal’s skill was below standard, and the second vocal has been cast in a new soap opera. Finally they meet the third vocal, Sae-young. But Sae-young leaves the band, because his personality is not compatible with Seung-woo. The remaining members try to find a new vocal, but it is hard to find a good vocal at that time. Seung-woo decides to perform without vocal. It is his last effort to keep the band ‘The Monotones’. Through The Monotones’ rooftop concert without vocal, they come to realize that this is where they should be, and they remember when they first began.

Critics consensus

“Despite its two stellar leads, Into the Night finds director John Landis indulging in far too many gimmicks in lieu of a well-rounded story.”

"Into the Night" features cameo appearances by 11 directors, none of whom had the sense to get behind the camera and help the 12th, John Landis.

The film itself tries sometimes too hard for laughs and at other times strains for shock.

Pfeiffer in particular takes the sort of glamorous yet preposterous part that generally defeats even the best actress and somehow contrives to make it credible every inch of the way.

There are a couple of jarring sequences that feel tonally wrong, but, overall, Landis and scripter Ron Koslow keep the picture sure-footed and fleet-footed.
