Midnight Run
Directed by Martin Brest
1988
★ 4.9 editorial score
De Niro is funnier here than in any comedy he tried to be funny in: a bounty hunter has to move an embezzling accountant coast to coast, and the accountant never stops talking.
“Most of "Midnight Run" is set on a wild cross-country chase from New York to Los Angeles, with tough Walsh and beleaguered Mardukas trying to elude both the Mafia and the FBI--and, in the midst of chaos and jeopardy, learning to respect and even love each other. It's not a very original idea or a very inventive screenplay...But who said movies always have to be original? This one is redeemed by execution and brilliant talent.”
