Midnight Run Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray
Original price was: $39.00.$30.00Current price is: $30.00.
Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) is a tough ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Jonathan “The Duke” Mardukas (Charles Grodin) is a sensitive accountant who embezzled $15 million from the Mob, gave it to charity and then jumped bail. Jack’s in for a cool $100,000 if he can deliver The Duke from New York to L.A. on time. And alive. Sounds like just another Midnight Run (a piece of cake in bounty hunter slang), but it turns into a cross-country chase. The FBI is after The Duke to testify – the Mob is after him for revenge – and Walsh is after him to just shut up. If someone else doesn’t do the job, the two unlikely partners may end up killing each other in this hilarious, action-filled blockbuster. Midnight Run Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray

Midnight Run on 4K and Blu-ray from Shout Factory
I saw this movie in theaters in summer 1988 and it’s one of my favorite movies that year. Now on a fabulous 4k and blu ray with some extras like interviews and behind the scenes making of Midnight Run. Definitely worth getting.

The Best Buddy Movie
MIDNIGHT RUN stars Robert De Niro as a Los Angeles bounty hunter, a former Chicago undercover cop who was framed by his fellow corrupt cops and a mobster, who is given the job of catching an accountant, played by Charles Grodin, who stole millions of dollars from a mobster (Dennis Farina, who in real life was an ex-Chicago cop). De Niro has to battle the mobster’s hitmen, another bounty hunter and an FBI agent (Yaphet Kotto) to catch the accountant and return him to Los Angeles. Director Martin Brest has a minor cameo. Funny foul language abounds with 193 curse words–mostly by De Niro and Farina.The acting and writing are excellent. This is my favorite Buddy Movie.

Old Classic in 4K…a true Gem Physical Discs are yours forever.
Old Classic in 4K…a gem. Shout Factory, Scream productions, etc are making Bank remastering these older classics on 4k. Many of these are not on streaming, plus with Physical media (Discs), no one can take it from you, it’s yours forever, no internet required. You only buy a license to watch digital media…it can disappear with the click of a button anywhere in the world. Xbox and PS5 are the ultimate 4k players…get one with the disc drive while you still can….you can play everything from CD, DVD, BLURAY and 4kK on them…plus Great Games, Sirius/XM, Streaming TV…a Win, Win, WinThe big studios really missed out. Midnight Run is a true classic, fun, easy watch, action, lots of older actors before they made it big. BTW, I absolutely hate Robert De Niro…he is a serious idiot and a hole…However, he is a good actor. Charles Groden gives the performance of his career. I can watch this with my family over and over. A true forgotten gem….

Perfect movie for a perfect time in history.
Excellent acting, great plot, enjoyable music, some action, and a raw and gritty tone that we just don’t see in movies anymore.

“Change of a 1,000? Get outta here you bum!”
One of the best 80’s movies. Great in 4k. Never a boring scene and all-time great one-liners throughout.

Fistaphobics unite!! This is a near perfect action-buddy comedy. De Niro & Grodin have terrific on-screen chemistry.
BOTTOM LINE: MIDNIGHT RUN is a non-stop comedic cross country chase film, taking us from New York to the Chicago suburbs, thru the back country of Arizona, and finally the glitz & glamour of Las Vegas. If you like smartly written comedy, lots of action or are fan of either of the two stars then this Blu-ray is a must-own. Only real ‘downside’ is the harsh language, (for those with young kids and/or an aversion to cursing). Wonderful on-screen rivalry & chemistry between the two leads. Big bellylaughs + excellent action = a high replay value. 5 STARSTHE STORY (contains spoilers): De Niro plays Jack Walsh, a former cop now making a living as a bounty hunter, but looking to get out of the business and retire. He sees an opportunity to do just that with his latest assignment: the apprehension & return of Jonathan “The Duke” Mardukas (a perfectly cast Charles Grodin), a former mob accountant who jumped bail and is worth a cool $100,000 to Jack IF the man can be brought back before his bond defaults. For a man of Walsh’s skills, finding “The Duke” is easy… returning him on time and in one piece is another matter altogether because brutish Vegas mobster Jimmy Serrano, (the Duke’s former employer, who also has a complicated past with De Niro’s Walsh), wants Mardukas torpedoed for what he did and for what he knows about Serrano’s operations. On top of that, the Feds will do anything to capture Mardukas because his invaluable testimony would send Serrano & his goons up the river for good. This job will set Walsh up for the rest of his life… or end it.THOUGHTS: Prior to this film, who knew Robert De Niro was so damn funny? MIDNIGHT RUN helped launch a second career for the well-established big screen tough guy, whose previous work always seemed to be lethal mafioso-types and/or creepy heavies. Ultra-dry Charles Grodin proves to be the the pitch perfect foil for the gruff, loutish De Niro, who also receives occasional visits from FBI Agent Alonso Mosely (an eternally frustrated Yaphett Kotto). Mob boss Jimmy Serrano (Dennis Farina), has perhaps the two stupidest flunkies this side of Moe Howard; both of whom spend the entire film’s running time bungling one assassination attempt after another on Walsh & The Duke. Also figuring heavily in the plot is Joe Pantoliano, as weaselly, apoplectic bail-bondsman Eddie Mascone. Lastly, we can’t forget Eddie’s back-up bounty hunter, the not quite so bright Marvin Dorfler, wonderfully underplayed by John Ashton (Beverly Hills Cop). Terrific casting, excellent acting all around and a smart script to work from make this film a delight to watch. Honestly you could just watch De Niro & Grodin sitting around talking for the whole film and it would still be entertaining. They play off each other that well. Too bad they didn’t do more films together. Additionally, when the two aren’t at each other’s throats they’re caught up in some pretty terrific big screen action sequences that are energetic, logical within the context of the story and very well staged, with more than enough explosions, shootouts and car chases to satisfy even hardcore 80’s action junkies.THE BLU-RAY: For this new hi-def release from Shout!Factory the film received a 2k scan from the film’s interpositive element. Resultant audio & video are both pretty strong BUT there is noticeable crush (video noise), and some pixelation in low light scenes. Not enough to detract from owning this, but you should be aware. Audio is clear, clean and mostly level. The Blu-ray comes loaded with some decent extras, including new individual on-camera interviews with most of the main cast, a vintage “Making of” featurette and a copy of the film’s theatrical trailer. All-in-all a very respectable release that should please MIDNIGHT RUN fans, of which I am one.

brilliantly conceived, masterfully executed–oh, and HILARIOUS
Unless you’ve got a serious allergy to foul language, movies really don’t come any better than 1988’s “Midnight Run”. George Gallo’s script is intricate and ingeniously detailed, and the top notch cast including Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, John Ashton, Dennis Farina, and Joe Pantoliano really go to town with it. Of course, director Martin Brest of “Beverly Hills Cop” fame did an incredible of a job as well (he makes a cameo appearance in the movie as well). There are so many little details that perhaps seem irrelevant at first, but the way things end up coming together is uncanny–it’s the kind of movie you could watch 5 times and still notice a detail that previously went over your head. The pairing of De Niro as the tempermental Jack Walsh with Charles Grodin as the deadpan Jonathan Mardukas (aka “The Duke”) is uncanny, and Dennis Farina, formerly of the Chicago Police Department, is characteristically brilliant. Even the soundtrack is cool and meshes brilliantly with scene after scene. With the great drama, suspense, and hilarity (including a number of classic one-liners) that run throughout this cross-country romp, this is an action-adventure-comedy of the best kind; hell, it even works great as a thriller. Grodin’s ‘big moment’ here is the hilarious “Litmus Configuation” scene which fondly recalls a similar scene with him in it from 1972’s “The Heartbreak Kid”. I also want to point out that, with the surprisingly bittersweet ending, the relatively low amount of violence, and the fact that none of the ‘good guys’ die, “Midnight Run” ends up being a borderline feel-good movie.This DVD release is very nicely done–thankfully, it’s in widescreen format, and also features the theatrical trailor which contains some bits left out of the finished movie, and a very entertaining and insightful “Making of ‘Midnight Run'” as well.

One of the best movies of its era
Plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. May be a little difficult to follow at times, be sure to pay attention during the first 30 minutes so that you know who everyone is. Great writing, acting, great comic relief, plenty of suspense and action.

“You two are the dumbest bounty hunters I have ever seen! You couldn’t even bring in a bottle of milk!”,
This is a surprisingly little known, brilliant, intelligent comedy about numerous criminals, two bounty hunters, one accountant and one FBI agent. It is also about cigarettes, sunglasses, aviaphobia, counterfeited money and real money. To say long things short, this is a MASTERPIECE of humour!Bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) is enlisted by a bail bondsman to bring accountant Jonathan “The Duke” Mardukas (Charles Grodin) back to Los Angeles. Mardukas supposedly stole $15 million from Chicago mob boss Jimmy Serrano (Denis Farina) before skipping the $450,000 bail that was posted for him. If Jack can bring Mardukas in during the next five days, he will get $100 000. But Mardukas is also being tracked by another bounty hunter, a brutish and mean but slightly dim guy named Marvin (John Ashton). Mob boss Jimmy Serrano and FBI agent Alonso Mosley (grandiose Yaphet Kotto) want the renegade accountant too…What follows is a brilliant comedy which takes us on 126 minutes long the incredibly entertaining odyssey through of most of continental Unites States by almost every way of travelling that is humanely possible. During all this time the seemingly defenseless and harmless Mardukas will submit the seemingly tough like nails bounty hunter Jack Walsh to a treatment which can only be described as psychological waterboarding – there will be moments when the poor bounty hunter will WISH to be dead!Locked in a mutually abusive relationship, Walsh and Mardukas will also have to run from the hired killers, the FBI agents and last but not least from Marvin, who, albeit not very bright, will still manage to make their life very interesting in numerous occasions…I saw this film at least six times and every time I loved it even more, as I still discover some new jokes and goofs at every viewing. The number of gags, both verbal and situational, is purely unbelievable and Robert De Niro and professional comedian Charles Grodin are simply UNBELIEVABLY GREAT! This film has also considerable charm, is quite heart-warming, never really sounds vulgar even if there is some strong language and finally, the ending is particularly good.I must admit that towards the end I grew very fond of ALMOST ALL the characters (including some of the mobsters!) and I was really sorry when this film ended – but in this time the obsession with sequels was not as strong as today and, Praised Be The Lord, nobody even tried to make a “Midnight Run 2”.Bottom line, this is an EXCELLENT film, one of my absolutely favourite modern comedies. To buy, watch, keep and re-watch. Enjoy!
