Double Feature
Midnight Run
The odd couple classic! Robert De Niro is a tough ex-cop tasked with finding Charles Grodin, a mild-mannered mob accountant who’s skipped bail and on the lam. But what was supposed to be a simple Midnight Run turns into a comedic, action-packed cross country chase where he’ll have to get the FBI off his case, the mob off his trail, and Grodin off his back!
“Midnight Run shows that Robert De Niro can be as wonderful in a comic role as he is in a serious one. Pair him, a gruff ex-cop and bounty hunter, with straight man Charles Grodin, his captive, and the result is one of the most entertaining, best executed, original road pictures ever.” – Variety
“Whoever cast De Niro and Grodin must have had a sixth sense for the chemistry they would have; they work together so smoothly, and with such an evident sense of fun, that even their silences are intriguing.” – Roger Ebert

The boys are back in town. Nick Nolte is a cop. Eddie Murphy is a convict. They couldn’t have liked each other less… They couldn’t have needed each other more. And the last place they every expected to be is on the same side. Even for 48 Hrs. Walter Hill’s exhilarating action comedy is one of the best buddy team-ups of the decade, with Murphy positively electric in his film debut.
