Review of Midnight Run

Midnight Run (1988)
10/10
Sharp, Laugh-out-Loud Road Movie
17 August 1998
Any time someone asks me for a comedy recommendation - I blurt "MIDNIGHT RUN " without hesitation. Well, that's not totally true. If the requester is elderly or young or cringes at profanity I sometimes substitute "Raising Arizona" or "Princess Bride" but that's really beside the point as "Midnight Run" is my true pick. This is the type of film you'll quote and watch again and will make you laugh aloud just by thinking about it. I mentioned profanity - truckloads of it - but it's better to watch it after the kiddies are tucked in bed than to view an edited version. We've caught a couple of "edited for content" network showings, and it is my advice to turn the channel, especially if it would be your first time to see it. As weird as it sounds, the dialogue works because it's so profane.
