"Midnight Run"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This one works on many levels because of the superbly chosen cast and Martin Brest's direction. Bounty hunter Robert DeNiro has to bring Charles Grodin across the country to make a bond deadline mob accountant and theif Grodin has run away from. Along the way the two are bedeviled by the FBI, ths mob, local police, and a rival bounty hunter. Also along the way they bond and become buddies. Half way through, Grodin convinces DeNiro to stop and visit his ex wife and a nine year old daughter he hasn't seen since she was a baby. There are many funny characters and lines throughout and the picture bears up to many watchings. The DVD is an early one and is not anamorphic nor in multi-channel sound (OK by me since I play it back with Pro Logic II Music). There is also no menu to speak of, only scene selection.
