Overrated and overhyped

How sad is this?

Brilliant and touching

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Much more of a comedy than I was anticipating, this is a very easy enjoyable watch which is cemented by fantastic chemistry between the two leads. I was expecting a lot of action and drama but almost the entire movie they don't build any suspense and even through what could of been the most tense scenes of the movie, the music always keeps it at a comedic and less serious tone. While I had my doubts about this working early on, this did actually work by the end as it differentiated itself from similar movies and I found the two hour run time flew by. De Niro and Grodin had great chemistry from the first scene on and the backstabbing and banter throughout was very well done. I think the most unusual part of the movie was the music choices by having almost every song or piece of music be very upbeat rather than suspenseful. This differentiated this and created a unique experience that made it an easy watch. There were some nitpicks, such as Alonzo Mosely almost never enunciating his words which made it hard to hear, and the fact that I don't think I've ever seen so many one punch knockouts, but the chemistry and tone of the movie creates an enjoyable experience where you don't take it all too seriously. It certainly wouldn't win any awards for great movies but it is an enjoyable classic where if you are looking for a way to kill a couple of hours with an enjoyable comedic movie then this is a great choice.

'Midnight Run (1988)' is a rare example of an action-comedy that's both thrilling and funny. It's a broadly bombastic but equally investing and small-scale character study that's unpredictably interesting and genuinely affecting. It's the core relationship that keeps the piece together, two relatable men caught at the centre of a somewhat unrelatable situation, and the way in which they remain utterly true to their occasionally deceptive characters is uncommonly impressive, as is the fact that a simple tongue-in-cheek argument is just as entertaining as a helicopter crash - if not more. 7/10

This is the most exciting movie I have ever seen. Especially, the last scene is extremely touching. Until halfway, there are a feeling that they are hostile to each other, because Duke wants to run away from jack, but he doesn't do so for him. However, as the story goes, they build a good relationship. At the last scene, Duke hands the escape funds to Jack, and Jake hands an important hand watch to Duke. For Jack, letting go of his hand watch has a big meaning of breaking the relationship with his wife. I can understand that by this last scene, a strong bond was born between Duke and Jake. As other moving scene, there is a scene which Jack's daughter tries to hand money to Jake. When Jack visited his wife's house, he meet his daughter again and his daughter know the situation what is happening for him. And then, she is going to give her own money to him. If I were Jack, I would have cried a lot with excitement. Anyway, this movie is the most exciting one I have ever seen.

The story of this movie is that a bounty hunter, Jack Walsh, finds and takes an accountant, Jonathan Mardukas, from New York to Los Angeles to get $100,000. However, this mission does not work and some accidents happen to them. This movie is so great and I like it. The two main characters who are completely contrasting type are very nice. At first, they do not match but they become a good combination gradually as if they have known each other for a long time. Their exchange of words makes me laugh and removes my stress. That is how much their combination is nice and interesting. I love them! Other characters are great individually.I have never seen the movie which Robert De Niro performs before but his acting is good. I really recommend this movie. You will come to want to talk with friends and realize the importance of friends who can share laughter.
