Scene of the Week: Midnight Run
The 1988 action comedy Midnight Run starring Robert DeNiro (as bounty hunter Jack Walsh) and Charle Grodin (as neurotic criminal/rogue accountant) Jonathan Mardukas, is one of the more critically acclaimed action movies of that decade. The film boasts an impressive roster of supporting players including Yaphet Kotto (Eye of the Tiger and The Running Man), Dennis Farina (Code of Silence and Street Crimes), Joe Pantoliano (The Fugitive and Bad Boys II) and John Ashton (Beverly Hills Cop and Beverly Hills Cop II).
In this week’s Scene of the Week, Jonathan Mardukas has two bounty hunters looking to bring him in, Jack Wash and Marvin Dorfler (John Ashton). But things are about to get extremely dangerous for the trio, as they find themselves being shot at and pursued by a helicopter ordered by Chicago mob boss Jimmy Serrano. This clip is short and sweet and has an explosive ending! Enjoy…
