this be simply one of the most enjoyable film of all time . it be endlessly watchable because it understand what make a film great . so many film in the eighty use the same template and place wafer thin character in the story which leave them with a poor film . midnight run strength be it ensemble of flesh out and beautifully realise character that make the whole thing so damn funny . you have interest in all of the character and not just the main men . let not forget the pacey direction and witty script and the raport between the two charasmatic lead robert de niro and charles grodin . often overlook by the general audience and this film probably should have be the action or comedy of the 80 and because in my eye it be .
