“This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
Midnight Run (1988) casts a sharp, humorous light on the cat-and-mouse game between bounty hunter Jack Gruber and IRS fugitive Alan Hunter, who leaps bail to evade not only the Feds but also his former mob boss and a competing bounty hunter. Director Martin Brest's high-octane comedy-drama plays out as a cross-country chase that tests the limits of both men's patience and integrity, transforming the relentless pursuit into a peculiar dance of survival and redemption.
