Midnight Run Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Funny, unpredictable and refreshingly adult.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
Midnight Run touches on one of the great mysteries of the movies: How is it that the tritest material can come to life when touched by the right director and the right actors?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
De Niro is nervily hilarious and Grodin nervelessly exceptional in Midnight Run, a formula buddy movie exalted to insta-classic status by their performances.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
Who said movies always have to be original? This one is redeemed by execution and brilliant talent: De Niro, Grodin, director Martin Brest, composer Danny Elfman, most of the cast and technicians.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A performance like De Niro's, in a well-made entertainment like Midnight Run, is cheap at any price. And capable of restoring the audience's faith in the form.
People Magazine
Peter Travers
Brace yourself for a movie joyride that sends you home reeling from thrills, laughter and the pleasure of honest sentiment.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Grodin and De Niro are different kinds of actors, but they share a knack for detail and a gift for understatement that keeps their scenes together crackling.
House Next Door
Odie Henderson
Midnight Run is one of 1988's best movies. It's exciting, funny, and full of fine actors who pull off the tricky machinations of the script.
Variety
Variety Staff
The result is one of the most entertaining, best executed, original road pictures ever.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. De Niro and Mr. Grodin are lunatic delights, which is somewhat more than can be said for the movie, whose mechanics keep getting in the way of the performances.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Brest propels the drama forward with planes, trains and automobiles (helicopters, too), but also makes time for De Niro, Grodin, and an excellent supporting cast, to make the frenetic ride well worth the trip.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Much as he might try, Brest can't masquerade this mainstream Hollywood studio picture as an offbeat little character piece.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Miraculously, De Niro and Grodin turn this sow's ear into a plausible vehicle for a buddy movie, and thanks to both of them, this movie springs to life.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The pleasures of Midnight Run come mainly from its acting.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Candice Russell
Midnight Run is an inside-out, upside-down buddy film and comedic cross- country caper. It also is the entertaining excuse for Robert De Niro, the Method actor of his generation, to cut loose and play things light for a change.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The entire cast is superb, each with a good ear for comedy.
Philadelphia Daily News
Ben Yagoda
De Niro is probably the most intense and idiosyncratic actor of his generation; Midnight Run may be the most conventional movie I've ever seen.
TV Guide
A thoroughly engaging action film, Midnight Run boasts a superb cast that transforms its rather mundane story line into something memorable, funny, and moving.
