in what have to be one of the most under appreciate buddy formula movie of all time and robert deniro and charles grodin strut their stuff on screen for one of the great chase film ever make . yes and for those of you who do not know that charles grodin actually do have a successful movie career ( i. e. the heartbreak kid and heaven can wait and the lonely guy and et al . ) before get into the talk show circuit and you will be pleasantly surprise to catch his performance in this late 80 jewel of a movie . it star robert deniro a jack walsh and a bounty hunter who set himself apart because he think that he have something that the people in his business usually do not have represent principle . the funny part be that those same principle be exactly what link him to the charles grodin character and jonathan mardukas and also know a the duke and who have steal 15 million dollar from the mob and and claim to have do it out of principle and in order to give the money away to the poor . whoever thought of the idea of bring these two totally different actor together be a genius and a their chemistry be literally palpable on the screen and what with deniro intensity and grodin non chalant way and the blend be outstanding . the movie be basically a formulaic chase one and since walsh and mardukas be be follow by the fbi and lead by agent alonzo mosley and in a great performance by yaphet kotto and the mob and lead by jimmy serrano and in a scary or funny turn by dennis farina and and another bounty hunter name marvin dorfler and play by the much under appreciate john ashton . there be plane and train and and automobile in the movie and but it never get tired and a it all come to a magnificent conclusion . be not use to see deniro play a character like jack walsh in a comedy or an action or comedy and a his comedic turn have be more of the intellectual variety ( i. e. the king of comedy and meet the parent and etc . ) or have be one where he be fully disguise or almost unrecognizable ( i. e. brazil and the adventure of rocky and bullwinkle ) . but what he do here be brave and courageous and and it pay off big time and a he allow the character of walsh to get the laugh base solely on who the character be and because there be no change in the way he utter out his threat in this movie and from the way he do it in movie where he be far more scary ( i. e. goodfellas and the godfather part ii and et al . ) . midnight run be a highly entertaining action or comedy movie with a heart and and if you have half the fun and watch it and a the actor obviously have while do it and then you will have already enjoy yourself a whole lot more than in any other movie that be similar to this one . recommend a a great entry in the robert deniro filmography .
