Review of Midnight Run (1988) by Cjm868 — 31 Mar 2016
One helluva buddy movie. The chemistry between De Niro and Grodin is wonderful.
The writing is superb, the dialogue between the two leads is stellar and is a such delight to listen to. Respect to George Gallo.
Most of the side characters in this are just as funny to watch as the leading pair, due in no small part to the amazing casting of those characters.
The movie transitions smoothly from road trip-esque scenes where Jack is escorting"The Duke" back to L.A. to collect the bounty on his head to scenes where the duo have to outrun gangsters and the FBI.
I love, love, LOVE this movie. Midnight Run is (this is cliche, but...) a joy from start to finish.
