Back in 1987 Robert DeNiro lobbied strongly to play the lead role in a picture called Big. Losing out he still felt he had something to offer the comedy genre and Midnight Run seemed the perfect fit.
DeNiro plays Jack Walsh a tough ex-cop turned Bounty Hunter, while Charles Grodin plays Jonathon ‘The Duke’ Mardukas, a sensitive accountant who embezzled $15million from the mob.
The charm of this movie is in the sparkling wordplay between Jack and The Duke and the situations they find themselves in whilst trying to get from New York to LA .
Directed skillfully by Martin Brest, still riding-high after the success of Beverly Hills Cop, proved with this movie, his precise control over the comedy genre.
