Movie Reviews of Midnight Run
Movie Review: DeNiro displays his comedic chops
Summary: 5 Stars
This film pairs Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin in a Buddy/ Road film/ Action story combination that results in one of the best pairnings ever in this type of movie. Both actors are in top form and play off of each other beautifully. The supporting cast is also excellent particularly Dennis Farina who delivers a superb performance as a sleazy mob boss who has an endless supply of creative threats to use to motivate his subordinates. Yaphett Koto is also very good as frustrated FBI Inspector Alonzo Mosley. It is the combination of DeNiro and Grodin that really drives the flim and provides both it's best comedy and it's more dramatic moments. One of the best movies of this type I've ever seen. Highly recommended. There are so many memorable lines that the movie holds up to repeated viewings.Movie Review: If you've never seen this movie....
Summary: 5 Stars
I notice that the other reviews written here praise this movie to death, and it deserves it, but I'd like to add that this movie is practically a primer in how a well-written and efficient screenplay can make or break a film. The exposition in "Midnight Run" comes out naturally and logically in normal conversation between characters. "So what?", you may say, and you may be right, but I watched "Midnight Run" today after recently seeing the Japanese film "Ringu", where the exposition was handled by having one character conveniently endowed with psychic powers so that the screenwriter could have his protaganists magically find out things the viewer needed to know to understand the movie. But, anyway, if you haven't seen this, or if you have, it is a fine, fine entertainment.Movie Review: A classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie easily earns 5 stars. Jaded bail enforcement agent Jack Walsh has until Friday, midnight to get Jonathan Mardukas 'The Duke' from New York to Los Angeles. Along the way they run into the menacing mobster Jimmy Cirano and his two bumbling henchmen Tony and Joey, the gullible rival bounty hunter Marvin Dorfler, and FBI agents Alonzo Mosely and company.
Plenty of shootouts, getaways and stolen vehicles keep the pace brisk while at the same time allowing us to get to know the characters. A strong dose of comedy is also everpresent above the more serious relationship of Walsh and Mardukas.
Excellent writing and acting throughout, and DeNiro at his best. One of my favorite action comedies...this one won't disappoint you.
Movie Review: One Of the Funniest Comedies Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Also Robert DeNiro's best, Charles Grodin's best, and one of the best 'buddy' movies in movie history. DeNiro and Grodin play so well off each other every scene with them together(usually bickering, or DeNiro threatening Grodin with some act of violence)is a joy. All the 'minor' characters are top notch, from Kotto to Farina(my personal favorite), to the wiseguys to 'Red'; This movie is one of those you can watch over and over again, too many classic moments to even get started on. 'These people depend on tips for a living...'. If you haven't seen this movie, treat yourself. Then watch it again. Great music, too. Director Brest keeps it moving along at a nice pace, so much so you hardly realize it's 2 hours. That is rare nowadays...Movie Review: IN MY COUNTRY THIS MOVIE IS COSTLY AND IT'S NORMAL
Summary: 5 Stars
