Bounty hunter Jack Walsh (<a href=">Robert De Niro) is sent to find and return bail jumper and former Mafia accountant, Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas (<a href=">Charles Grodin). The FBI has had no success in locating The Duke, so when Jack finds him in next to no time, they are a little embarrassed. In order to collect his $100,000 fee, Jack must take The Duke from New York to Los Angeles. However, the Mafia and the FBI have other ideas, as does Marvin Dorfler (<a href=">John Ashton), a rival bounty hunter. On their long cross-country trip to LA, the two get to know each other and they build up a strange friendship.
Jack Walsh is a Los Angeles based bounty hunter. It's a job he hates, he a former Chicago police officer who was, if rumors are true, run out of town by mob boss Jimmy Serrano. The reasons for his release from the force led to the dissolution of his marriage, his wife and daughter who he has not seen in nine years but who he still loves. Eddie Moscone, a bail bondsman for who Jack often works, convinces him to pick up a specific bail jumper, Jonathan Mardukas, whose whereabouts are unknown. Although Jack negotiates a lucrative contract with Eddie for this job - Eddie who will lose his business if Jonathan is not brought in within five days - Eddie believes Jonathan having been Serrano's accountant should be enough of a drawing card for Jack, Jonathan who embezzled $15 million from his mob boss. Using some contacts and a stolen ID, Jack is able to locate and capture Jonathan on the first day in New York. Out of circumstance, Jack and Jonathan are forced to travel by the proverbial planes, trains and automobiles to get back to LA as many others are also on their tail trying to get their hands on Jonathan. They include: Alonzo Mosely, an FBI agent, and his associates, who have been leading an operation against Serrano for several years; Serrano and his men who do not want to see Jonathan testify in court; and Marvin Dorfler, a rival bounty hunter who Eddie also hires just in case Jack fails, there being no love lost between Jack and Marvin. Some try to persuade Jack to give Jonathan up, using the "carrot" of more money than Eddie would be paying, while others have their own moles to be able to follow Jack and Jonathan's whereabouts as they snake west across the country. But the biggest obstacle in Jack getting Jonathan back to Los Angeles within five days may be mild mannered Jonathan himself. Beyond knowing he is an easy target for Serrano if he is in prison and thus who does whatever he can can either to persuade Jack not to turn him in or elude him, Jonathan, based on differences in personality with Jack including having a multitude of phobias, may drive Jack crazy and crazier the longer they are within each other's company.
The funny point in this film is that Walsh is cunning and outs his heart into everything for money. It is interesting that he tries to deceive some people, however it is found out finally. He is not the main character who can be called a hero, but I think we can be called a hero, but I think we can never hate him. The Duke is also good at cheating someone. Especially, when he got on the plane, his pretence of phobia was great. Walsh and the Duke hated each other at first, but their cooperation system is good, and they are a perfect combination. I was moved by the last scene that Walsh set The Duke free. Money which he received from The Duke was less than $ 300,000 that was promised. I think he could not build his coffee shop and it became a little difficult to start his new life. However he did not give up a scene of justice he had inside. He had evil plots, but he did not forget heart of a police detective. As mentioned above, I think Walsh is not be a hero, but he has his sense of justice. He may be a hero who does not look like a hero.
Director Martin Brest's Midnight Run (1988) takes the popular buddy cop formula (Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Red Heat, Lethal Weapon, Tango and Cash, Alien Nation, Turner & Hooch, K-9 etc., etc.) and gives it a little spin, the film's unlikely pair of protagonists being Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro), a hard-bitten ex-cop turned bounty hunter, and ex-mob accountant Jonathan 'The Duke' Mardukas (Charles Grodin), who cheated his employers out of $15million. As Walsh escorts The Duke cross country from New York to Los Angeles, where bail bondsman Eddie Moscone (Joe Pantoliano) anxiously waits, he is relentlessly pursued by the mafia, the FBI and his arch rival, Marvin Dorfler (John Ashton), all of whom are keen to get their hands on his prisoner. During their journey—which involves planes, trains and automobiles (also the title of an '80s mismatched buddy comedy)—the pair form an unlikely friendship. Occasionally the movie pushes the boundaries of credibility (is it THAT easy to cancel someone else's credit card? Would a bar owner really be dumb enough to hand over his cash to two strangers?), but with excellent central performances (as one might expect from heavyweights such as De Niro and Grodin), great support from Pantoliano, Yaphet Kotto (as FBI agent Alonzo Mosely) and Dennis Farina as mob boss Jimmy Serrano), a wonderfully witty script with genuine heart, and just enough expertly executed mayhem (including a great car chase through the desert), Midnight Run proves to be one of the better buddy movies of the era.
The funniest buddy movie ever and a generally daffy one at that. It features some of the most genuinely stupid and amusing tough guys in the history of cinema, and a tantalizing slow burn by Deniro.
A "midnight run" is originally a slang term for a quick, late-night shopping trip to the corner store for beer, cigarettes or snacks. In bounty hunter slang, a midnight run is an easy job. The phrase has been used from time to time on the TV show <a href="/title/tt0424627/">Dog the Bounty Hunter (2003)</a>. In the movie, bond agent Moscone (<a href="/name/nm0001592/">Joe Pantoliano</a>) promises Walsh (<a href="/name/nm0000134/">Robert De Niro</a>) that his assignment will be an easy job, ie a "midnight run". In addition, to fulfill the contract, the fugitive has to be brought in by Friday midnight, lending further meaning to the movie title. At the start of the movie, when Jack Walsh brings Monroe Bouchet (<a href="/name/nm0866019/">John Toles-Bey</a>) to the police station to be booked, a policeman says to Jack, "Hey Jack, the Soda machine's been out for a week and a half." Jack responds to this comment with a contemptuous smirk. It is likely that the policeman means it as a sign of disrespect to Jack. He is saying something like "You must be here to fix the soda machine, because you sure don't work here." It's an acknowledgment that Jack used to be a cop, but has now fallen on hard times, and has no real business in a police station. It is most likely a nickname which originated in his real name—Jonathan Mardukas. His surname is pronounced Mar-Duke-Is, with the stress naturally falling on the second syllable (Duke), hence the nickname of the Duke. Jack Walsh (<a href="/name/nm0000134/">Robert De Niro</a>) finds Mardukas (<a href="/name/nm0001301/">Charles Grodin</a>) relatively easily by checking his police booking slip, and finding the number Mardukas called immediately after he was arrested. Jack then has his police contact find out where the house is to which the number belongs. Jack then taps the phone line in the house and calls the house pretending to be an FBI agent looking into the Mardukas case. This prompts the woman who lives in the house to immediately call Mardukas himself. However, because Jack has tapped the line, he is then able to discover exactly where Mardukas is staying. As such, Jack is able to find Mardukas easily, in contrast to the FBI and the mob, both of whom are unaware of what city Mardukas is even in. Obviously, in reality, this is preposterous, the FBI would easily have been able to do what Jack did, and the Mob, one would imagine, would have their own contacts with access to police files. However, in the context of the film, the incident is simply a way of presenting Jack as resourceful and determined, whilst the FBI and the mob are shown to be quite inept, always a few steps behind Jack. Marvin Dorfler (<a href="/name/nm0039226/">John Ashton</a>) is able to cancel Jack's (<a href="/name/nm0000134/">Robert De Niro</a>) credit card simply by calling the credit card company, giving his name and card number, and saying he has lost his card. In 1988, there were few checks in place to stop such things. Credit card issuers were interested in stopping unauthorized use of cards, not unauthorized cancellations. The question of how could Marvin have known Jack's credit card number in the first place is left open, but some hints are given. Marvin is shown several times during the movie as being thoroughly unscrupulous, it is probable that Marvin simply got Jack's card number at some stage in the past and kept it for just such an incident as is seen in the film. Because, as Mardukas says, it's not a bribe, it's a gift; Jack has already let Mardukas go before Mardukas gives him the money, so taking the money from Mardukas does not violate Jack's moral code in any way.
