10 Movies I've Enjoyed for Whatever Reason #09 "Midnight Run"



   It took a little while into the film but soon I was hooked by the dry, laconic, downplayed but enthralling relationship between mob accountant and 'bounty hunter.' Jonathan Mardukas (played by Charles Grodin, who I haven't liked in a few films), a mafia accountant, is on the run, and Jack Walsh (seminal Robert De Niro), a bounty hunter, wants to find him in order to claim a hefty fee. But he has to reach Jonathan before the others do. The alternative bounty hunter in pursuit makes the perfect foil for the main characters and action!
