Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Mokka-mocha45 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.
1003hijuyp I am lucky to enough to watch Midnight Run, because this movie teaches me what is the basic of comedy and action. I think that this is one of the greatest classic movies. After I watched Midnight Run, I thought why this movie was brilliant, and why I came to think I wanted to watch it again. A few minutes later, I could find the reason. This film has no weak or poor scene. All scenes are necessary and the help me understand not only the characteristic of the De Niro or Gordin role, but also Midnight Run itself. Furthermore, the conversations engage me in this movie. For example, Gordin warns De Niro of the dangers of smoking and asks him not to smoke, but De Niro does not listen to his caution. This scene is seen in many films, but I have never seen other films which a character persuades the other one not to smoke over and over even if s/he is mad at the character. Anyway, if you have never watched this movie, I recommend you to watch it. and I am sure you will like it. In addition, you will watch again and again.
moonspinner55 Ruthless Los Angeles bounty hunter agrees to bring in a low-key but sly accountant in five days for a bail bondsman willing to pay $100,000. The accountant, who embezzled $15 million from a mob boss--who is also the bounty hunter's old nemesis--is also wanted by the Chicago mafia and by FBI agents, while the bounty hunter has to contend with his relentless competition as well as a talkative prisoner intent on escaping. In the leads, Robert DeNiro is lean, mean and exciting, while Charles Grodin's private smiles and sneaky eyes are a perfect counterpoint. They're an amusing pair, but the film is overloaded with color: colorful nuts and yokels and gangsters and dummies, all with their heads about to explode. George Gallo's screenplay is a commercially-driven, fraudulent piece of goods--it's funny at times, but dishonest. Producer-director Martin Brest gets things off to a slam-bang start, but as soon as the pair take time to visit the ex-wife and loyal little girl, one can sense the carefully-crafted pieces being put into place. The movie plays its audience for yahoos, ready to cheer the gunshots and car crashes and bad language...and then warm to the feel-good bond which develops between the disparate buddies. **1/2 from ****
bankofmarquis A truly great action/adventure comedy from the Director of BEVERLY HILLS COP. Full of surprises, namely:1). Robert DeNiro doing comedy for the first time and it's a smart one (as opposed to the slumdog comedies like DIRTY GRANDPA he is doing these days).2). Dennis Farina as foul-mouthed mob boss, Jimmy Serrano3). Yaphet Kotto as FBI Agent Mosely4). The always slimy Joe Pantoliano as Bails Bondsman Eddie Moscone5). Beverly Hill's Cop John Ashton as opposing bounty hunter Marvin Dorfler6). And...most importantly...Charles Grodin at his absolute dry wit best as Mob accountant Jonathan MardukasWell worth checking out - put it on a doublebill with BEVERLY HILLS cop and you've got a GREAT doublefeature.7 (out of 10) stars and you can take that to the Bank (of Marquis)
