[REQ] Midnight Run (1988) Remember Denise...

Movies that don't quite meet the requirements to be on-topic for FLM, maybe because the actors are too old or screen time is too small.

[REQ] Midnight Run (1988) Remember Denise...

Post by DaveTheBoss »   5 likes

What a memory ! A wonderful film that oscillates between a road movie and a buddy movie. In this film, the shadow of Franck Capra hovers as well as in two other films that I love where Charles Grodin has a supporting role (Taking Care of Business, 1990 and Dave, 1993). I had never seen De Niro in such a relaxed role before (at that time), he reminds me of Belmondo and Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop directed by Martin Brest, the director of Midnight Run (!). The moment I love about this movie is when in the middle of a frantic race, the unlikely duo, short of money, is forced to stop at De Niro's ex-wife's house to ask for help. It is then that an angel appears, De Niro finds himself in front of his daughter whom he has not seen for a long time, it is really a magical sequence, an enchanted parenthesis in the film. That's when the film literally stops for a few minutes, we completely forget the main plot... We can feel the obvious lack, the time lost or wasted by the absence of the father and his daughter, even without any words exchanged. Maybe it marked me because even at that age I still didn't know my father (I will wait until the age of 25 to meet him).

A cult film, feel good with a plethora of great small roles.... I think that this film held a special place in the hearts of the two actors...

Even for a single scene, this film deserves to be here, don't you 8-) ?

If you want to see only this passage (of course, it's much stronger when you see the whole movie) :

That one scene with his young daughter clearly made an impression on you and so this film fits one of the original definitions of "first loves movies" in its original conception. Overall the movie is about the two men and off-topic for FLM, although I readily acknowledge it is a superior action comedy.

P.S.: When creating a thread, only use RELease if you are including an eMule link. If you are only including direct-download or torrent links, use REQuest instead.

Therefore I've moved this thread to "Verified Off-Topic".

I really liked Robert De Niro in this movie, but no film for FLM.

In this case, other films, including this one, have their place off-topic.

No, actually I did that AFTER his posts and in response to them... and the quotes in my post in the other topic were to indicate why, without going into one of my epic essays.
