Amazon.com essential video:
Director Martin Brest rocketed to the top of Hollywood's A list with the blockbuster success of Beverly Hills Cop, and this 1988 follow-up is even better. Midnight Run is a genuine rarity--an action comedy that's dramatically satisfying--thanks to a sharp script by George Gallo, the superb teaming of Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin, and Brest's consummate skill in combining suspense and humor with well-developed characters. De Niro plays a maverick bounty hunter whose latest assignment is Grodin, an accountant accused of embezzling from the Mob. De Niro thinks he's in for an easy job, transporting Grodin (who's afraid to fly) from New York to Los Angeles, but soon discovers that both the FBI and the Mafia are hot on Grodin's trail. Equal parts road trip, action thriller, and a quirky character study, Midnight Run moves at a breakneck pace but still gives De Niro and Grodin time to create rich, memorable performances as two men who seem to be opposites, but gradually develop mutual respect and admiration. Mainstream entertainment at its best. --Jeff Shannon

One of the best fun movies of the 80's. I had the honor of driving Mr. Brest, the director, on this film. He also gave me a small part. I am the Amarillo Policeman that releases John Ashton's character. I send him on to Flagstaff. This is one you can watch over and over. We shot all over the country. New York, Chicago (train), in Arizona (Globe, Flagstaff, Clarkdale, etc), LA and Vegas. I had a great time helping make this film and you will have a great time watching it many, many times.

Wow! How we LOVE this film to pieces, and I scratch my head at those who don't get it. I never saw this lovely gem back in the `80s, "But I was just a kid..." My dad took me to see "Roger Rabbit," and that was my main interest. I actually do remember seeing a theatrical TV spot for "Midnight" at the time. "These guys have 5 days to get from New York to Los Angeles..." For years; I pondered what film that commercial was for. I'd skipped many syndicated viewings of "Midnight" over time (probably best ... Read More

I will admit to more than a little bias, as this is my favorite film, period. The byplay between DeNiro (in his first comedic role) and Charles Grodin is just precious -- Grodin as the carping accountant-on-the-lamb who drives bounty hunter DeNiro crazy in their cross-country jaunt. The dialog is snappy, the action first rate, and the supporting cast (Joe Pantoliano as the sleazy bail bondsman, Yaphet Kotto as the frustrated federal agent, and John Ashton as the competing bungling bounty hunter - ...

Based on the reviews on amazon.com I ordered this dvd and quite frankly was disappointed with the movie. The action was nothing more than average compared to other flicks of this genre. In fact, the scene at the bus stop with the hit men (snipers) getting ready to take out the character played by Grondin was so unbelievable it was ridiculous (but not comical). Which leads me to the other issue I had with this movie. The comedy fell relatively flat as well. A mediocre mark for a mediocre film...3 ... Read More
