This '80s classic allowed one of cinema's greatest actors of all time to showcase his funny side
Our pick for tonight is this '80s action comedy focusing on down-on-his-luck bounty hunter Jack Walsh as he is hired to find and return bail jumper and former Mafia accountant Jonathan 'The Duke' Mardukas .
However, this proves increasingly difficult thanks due to various interfering parties, a scheming Mardukas and the surprise friendship that develops between the bounty hunter and bail jumper. Anchored by the terrific chemistry between De Niro and Grodin, crackling dialogue and a screenplay that blends comedy and tension incredibly well, Midnight Run remains the gold standard for action comedies.In contrast, this 2021 sci-fi action flick starring Mark Wahlberg has a low 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, which means you may want to avoid it.A private detective finds himself embroiled in a scandal involving a New York mayor in this watchable neo-noir crime thriller.
