Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The first must-see film of the year.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Midnight run is just fun. You get exactly what you should expect from the two main stars.It has a great cast, some action AND it'll make you laugh and help you quit smoking.This is a great movie and a must see for De Niro fans. I can watch this every year.
This is the most exciting movie I have ever seen. Especially, the last scene is extremely touching. Until halfway, there are a feeling that they are hostile to each other, because Duke wants to run away from jack, but he doesn't do so for him. However, as the story goes, they build a good relationship. At the last scene, Duke hands the escape funds to Jack, and Jake hands an important hand watch to Duke. For Jack, letting go of his hand watch has a big meaning of breaking the relationship with his wife. I can understand that by this last scene, a strong bond was born between Duke and Jake. As other moving scene, there is a scene which Jack's daughter tries to hand money to Jake. When Jack visited his wife's house, he meet his daughter again and his daughter know the situation what is happening for him. And then, she is going to give her own money to him. If I were Jack, I would have cried a lot with excitement. Anyway, this movie is the most exciting one I have ever seen.
The funny point in this film is that Walsh is cunning and outs his heart into everything for money. It is interesting that he tries to deceive some people, however it is found out finally. He is not the main character who can be called a hero, but I think we can be called a hero, but I think we can never hate him. The Duke is also good at cheating someone. Especially, when he got on the plane, his pretence of phobia was great. Walsh and the Duke hated each other at first, but their cooperation system is good, and they are a perfect combination. I was moved by the last scene that Walsh set The Duke free. Money which he received from The Duke was less than $ 300,000 that was promised. I think he could not build his coffee shop and it became a little difficult to start his new life. However he did not give up a scene of justice he had inside. He had evil plots, but he did not forget heart of a police detective. As mentioned above, I think Walsh is not be a hero, but he has his sense of justice. He may be a hero who does not look like a hero.
The story of this movie is that a bounty hunter, Jack Walsh, finds and takes an accountant, Jonathan Mardukas, from New York to Los Angeles to get $100,000. However, this mission does not work and some accidents happen to them. This movie is so great and I like it. The two main characters who are completely contrasting type are very nice. At first, they do not match but they become a good combination gradually as if they have known each other for a long time. Their exchange of words makes me laugh and removes my stress. That is how much their combination is nice and interesting. I love them! Other characters are great individually.I have never seen the movie which Robert De Niro performs before but his acting is good. I really recommend this movie. You will come to want to talk with friends and realize the importance of friends who can share laughter.
