Midnight Run (1988)

That was an excellent one.

hyped garbage

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This movie was the one of the most enjoyable movie's I've ever seen. The characters really matched the scene and made me want to see more. At the beginning i couldn't imagine how the film will move on and I thought Jack's purpose was only money. When Jack meets his daughter and his ex-wife, I think it was his turning point to pick friendship and justice. The point I like about this movie is the exchanges between Jack and Mardukas. At first, Jack was very strong against him but Mardukas starts tricking him and starts showing that he is not just a geek. It is also funny that the FBI aren't smart enough to take away Mardukas. I think this film has a couple of emotional moments plus action moments and mostly laughter completes this movie. Personally, the ending was easy to imagine so if it was a more unexpected ending I think it would have been a better film.

This movie is about a bounty hunter called jack Walsh played by Robert de niro and he is after the duke played by charles grodin for 100,000 dollars and Marvin trys to capture him to which is hard for jack and jimmy serano and his people try to kill him for robbing his money to give to charity because he can't stop seeing him and I love this movie because of the cast which de niro and grodin capture spectacularly this movie is de niros and grodins best comedy and also it is so funny because the duke can't stop bothering jack all the time and I've got to say the ending was really sad this is one of my favourite emotional comedys of all time

I am lucky to enough to watch Midnight Run, because this movie teaches me what is the basic of comedy and action. I think that this is one of the greatest classic movies. After I watched Midnight Run, I thought why this movie was brilliant, and why I came to think I wanted to watch it again. A few minutes later, I could find the reason. This film has no weak or poor scene. All scenes are necessary and the help me understand not only the characteristic of the De Niro or Gordin role, but also Midnight Run itself. Furthermore, the conversations engage me in this movie. For example, Gordin warns De Niro of the dangers of smoking and asks him not to smoke, but De Niro does not listen to his caution. This scene is seen in many films, but I have never seen other films which a character persuades the other one not to smoke over and over even if s/he is mad at the character. Anyway, if you have never watched this movie, I recommend you to watch it. and I am sure you will like it. In addition, you will watch again and again.

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)
