midnight run be one of the most underrated movie of recent memory . there have be many attempt a regurgitate the story line from my fellow commenter and so i will go in a different direction . the deniro character be awesome . most deniro fan will have to see this movie a couple of time to understand his comedic brilliance in this movie . the interaction between deniro and grodin be incomparable . it have be rumor that grodin aggravate deniro so much on the movie set that it bring out the best in these two actor in the film . the soundtrack be marvelously write by danny elfman . i have one question on the soundtrack . who be that play the slide and electric lead guitar on the soundtrack . be this danny elfman himself . there be not any listed credit for the musician so it be impossible to tell who it be . but suffice it to say that the slide guitar player sound like ry kooder on steroid . the music complement the chase scene like i haven not hear or see in many year . if you do not have this movie in your collection and buy it . it be one of those movie you can watch every couple of month and never get bore with it or it character . jim morris .
