"De Niro and Grodin are just brilliant together…" – Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) is a tough ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas (Charles Grodin) is a sensitive accountant who embezzled $15 million from the mob, gave it to charity and then jumped bail. Jack's in for a cool $100,000 if he can deliver The Duke from New York to L.A. on time… and alive. Sounds like just another Midnight Run (a piece of cake in bounty hunter slang), but it turns into a cross-country chase. The FBI wants The Duke to testify, the mob wants him for revenge and Walsh wants him to just shut up. If someone else doesn't do the job, the two unlikely partners may end up killing each other in this hilarious, action-filled ride from producer-director Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop).

“Watched it in the theaters in 1988 and it is still great today. Full of great actors and done by the director of Beverly Hills Cop! John Ashton as Marvin is at his best! Great quality picture transfer also.”

“Midnight Run stands the test of time, functioning simultaneously as a road movie, a cop comedy, and a strange sort of buddy film with Robert De Niro in one of his first comic performances, and Charles Grodin in an early role, easily keeping up with De Niro, seemingly improvising much of his part. The blu ray looks terrific, with plenty of film grain and no sign of monkeying with the color palette or other such shenanigans. Shout Factory has done it once again (though it would have been nice to have added a filmmaker's commentary -- always appreciated, especially from the director or screenwriter).”
