Midnight Run

     This movie was directed by Martin Brest. Main actors are Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. The movie is comedy and action movie. This story is about a bounty hunter's performing his duty. Robert De Niro acted the man, Jack Walsh. Charles Grodin played Jonathan Mardukas who is a former Mafia accountant. He misappropriated Jimmy Serrano, the boss of Mafia's money to contribute to charity.
     One day, Jack Walsh was asked to find and return "The Duke" Mardukas. He was a former police officer in Chicago, so he had some information about Serrano. He tried to find Mardukas, but he was interfered with his work by the FBI. The FBI had the past that they couldn't arrest Serrano, so they wanted to find and arrest Serrano. The boss of the FBI is Alonzo Mosely. His name and badge were exploited by Walsh anywhere. The badge was stolen by Walsh when he talked with Mosely in a car. This scene is very funny.
     After Walsh found Mardukas, he tried to take Mardukas from New York to Los Angeles. He would take a plane at first, but Mardukas said he was a plane phobia, so they decided to take a train. Walsh didn't estimate that he fell into the situation. But after all, they didn't be catched and killed by Mafia thanks to the changing plan. When the train that they took got closer to the station, Walsh and Mardukas jumped out of the train because they saw the FBI waited them at the place. After that, they walked and found the car which carried some people. They rode on the car and went to a remote place. When Walsh used the phone at the place, Mardukas tried to fly to escape. Walsh found it, and he catched the light plane. So, Mardukas failed to disappear in front of Walsh.
     Walsh and Mardukas became to get along with each other little by little. They developed the survival to get away from Mafia and the FBI. One day, they visited Walsh's ex-wife to lend some money on their way. She was angry him, but she lent some money and her car for him. His daughter said she would lend her money for her father, but still he declined. I thought a divorce is not best way to solve problems, especially for children.
     At the end of the story, I was impressed by Walsh and Mardukas' actings. They built their friendship and confidence. Walsh didn't take Mardukas to the person who asked him to take Mardukas for his money. And Mardukas gave his impartial money to Walsh because he was thankful to Walsh. When they did the survival, Mardukas said he had no money. But he kept his money to go home, and he decided to give it to Walsh after all. I thought a friendship is the best of life, and I will recommend this movie to my friends.
