Midnight Run Reviews

As you may have noticed, I’m a very obsessive movie watcher and one of my very first obsession was/is Robert De Niro. Indeed, I just love this actor and I have been watching many of this movies during the last 20 years (72 so far and still 20 to go). However, since the beginning of this decade, he has been making about 3 or 4 movies a year and most of them were of a very dubious quality so I’m not as fanatic as I used to be about his work but I still watch some of them from time to time. Anyway, coming back our main feature, it is interesting to see that way before 'Meet the Parents' or 'Analyse This', Robert De Niro was already showing up in some mainstream commercial comedies like this one. The big difference, however, is, first, it was actually a good comedy and, secondly, those movies were really the exception, the rest of his work was focused on some really challenging and interesting productions. To be honest, since I kept hearing some great things about this movie, I was expecting a little bit more from it but, eventually, it was a decent road-trip combined with the usual buddy cop gimmick. So, it was nothing really original but it was still fairly entertaining and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Robert De Niro's work.
