Midnight Run Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Martin Brest
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
Director Martin_Brest, of Going in Style and Beverly_Hills_Cop fame, was in charge of Midnight Run. Robert_De_Niro stars as Jack Walsh, a hard-bitten bounty hunter offered 100,000 to bring in embezzler Jonathan Mardukas (Charles_Grodin). Handcuffed to the wimpy Mardukas, Walsh assumes that the extradition trip from New York to Los Angeles will be an uneventful one. But the prisoner hasn't told Walsh the whole story: the embezzler owes 15 million to a mobster (Dennis_Farina), and he's been targeted for assassination. It's a toss-up as to what is the most entertaining aspect of Midnight Run: the slam-bang action and chase sequences or the verbal byplay between DeNiro and Grodin. Hal Erickson, Rovi
