Midnight Run Movie Review 1988

An ex-cop, bounty hunter must bring in an ex-mob accountant who has embezzled big bucks from his former boss. After he catches up with the thief, the hunter finds that bringing his prisoner from New York to Los Angeles will be very trying, especially when it is apparent that the Mafia and FBI are out to stop them. The friction between the two leads--De Niro and Grodin--is fun to watch, while the action and comic moments are enjoyable.
