That was an excellent one.
Best movie ever!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Midnight run is just fun. You get exactly what you should expect from the two main stars.It has a great cast, some action AND it'll make you laugh and help you quit smoking.This is a great movie and a must see for De Niro fans. I can watch this every year.
This movie was thrilling all the way through. Strangely, every time when he is targeted, I feel a sense of security rather than pressed. We can find easily Jack is very kind at heart and very wise. I was pleased with his character. I like the part where he sets Duke free. It is touching they make a promise to meet each other in life after death. They establish a good relationship between them unnoticed. I think their dialogue is also a highlight. It is enjoyable what distinction of age or sex.
If you're unsure if you will like this movie, rest assured it will be worth your time. It's not just a great buddy movie, it's a very, very funny movie. There are, of course, no punch lines, but comedy from the dark subject line. The main plot is about a bounty hunter (DeNiro) finding and returning, in 5 days, a bond skip tracer (Grodin) to stand trial. But, in a funny scene, Grodin convinces DeNiro that Grodin cannot fly, thus the beginning of a grueling 5 day road trip from New York to California. As the old saying goes, let the hilarity begin. The two are chased across the country by the FBI, the mob and another bounty hunter. There is plenty to say, but I prefer to let the movie do the talking. Let me also say that the chemistry between Grodin and DeNiro is spectacular. The train scene towards the end of the movie where they are discussing chickens is outright hilarious (and, it turns out, mostly improvised). The other supporting characters are terrific as well. But, in my opinion, the performance by the late great Dennis Farina must be mentioned. He steals every scene he's in and how he didn't get nominated for an Oscar is just baffling. All in all, a 9 out of 10. I hear they are considering a sequel. I look forward to it!
A truly great action/adventure comedy from the Director of BEVERLY HILLS COP. Full of surprises, namely:1). Robert DeNiro doing comedy for the first time and it's a smart one (as opposed to the slumdog comedies like DIRTY GRANDPA he is doing these days).2). Dennis Farina as foul-mouthed mob boss, Jimmy Serrano3). Yaphet Kotto as FBI Agent Mosely4). The always slimy Joe Pantoliano as Bails Bondsman Eddie Moscone5). Beverly Hill's Cop John Ashton as opposing bounty hunter Marvin Dorfler6). And...most importantly...Charles Grodin at his absolute dry wit best as Mob accountant Jonathan MardukasWell worth checking out - put it on a doublebill with BEVERLY HILLS cop and you've got a GREAT doublefeature.7 (out of 10) stars and you can take that to the Bank (of Marquis)
