Midnight run

     I saw Midnight run. It was very interesting for me. American movies are so exciting. I often watch movies, but I haven't seen this movie. The story of this movie is new and first time for me.
     The casts of this movie are Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Frederick Kotto, John Ashton and Joe Pantoliano.

     Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) who resigns the Chicago police is working as a bounty hunter at Los Angeles. He pursues Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas (Charles Grodin) who is the accounting staff who embezzled Jimmie Serrano's  (Dennis Farina) money of the gang by the request of bail finance company president Eddie (Joe Pantoliano). FBI investigator Maudslay (Yaphet Kotto) heard that Jack pursues Mardukas. Maudslay tells Jack not to be able to pass Mardukas beacause he is an important witness for pursuing Serrano. Maudslay disturbs Jack to get Mardukas. When Jack talked to Maudslay, he stole Maudslay's warrant card in the car. He uses it by forged and leave for New York. He has taken Maudslay's name like own name. He easily arrest Mardukas because of Maudslay's name and warrant card. However, Jack is pursued by FBI and the Serrano partisans from now on.

     Jack and Mardukas ride on an airplane to go to Los Angeles. FBI and the Serrano's partisans get the information that Jack and Mardukas ride on an airpalne. They are ambushing two men at the airport. Although the air plane arrived at Los Angeles, they aren't in the air plane. They don't get on the plane because Mardukas is the aviophobia, so they has changed how to go to Los Angeles. It is a train. Eddie who doesn't know having changed a schedule is very angry and annoyed because they aren't. Therefor, Eddie asks Jack's men of the same trade Marvin Dorfler (John Ashton) to transfer Mardukas. Jack and Mardukas are attacked by Dorfler in the train. They knock Dorfler down in the train. Jack hands over him to a police men because he is the "FBI Maudslay". They transfer change to the bus. FBI and the Serrano's partisans are also waiting for them at the bus terminal. When they get off the bus, the shooting starts with FBI and Serrano. Jack and Mardukas take a patrol car during the shooting and escape from FBI and Serrano.
    
     Jack and Mardukas unexpectedly visit the en-wife and child who separated 9 years ago. The ex-wife coldly treat Jack because of the sudden visit. On the other hand, Jack's daughter, Denise (Daniel Dyk Ross) expresses joy obediently. The ex-wife is changed her mind by her daughter's feeling, so she provides a car and money to Jack. 

     The trip of Jack and Mardukas who are pursued by FBI and the Serrano's partisans continues. They experience a lot of things on the way. For example, they contact with Dorfler, shoot the helicopter of the Serrana's Partisans, escape in the torrent and steal the money from the bar and leap aboard the train. As they escape together, the strange friendship appears and becomes more and moredeepened between lonely Jack and gentle Mardukas.
   However, at last, Jack is caught by Maudslay and Mardukas is caught by Dorfler . Mardukas is handed over Serrano from Dorfler. Jack persuade Maudslay in order to rescue Mardukas from Serrano and tries the bet to entrap into the Serrano's partisans. The bet unexpectedly succeed. Mardukas who is freedom presents the money which he have hiden to Jack as the proof of the friendship. Then, they separete and live each way again.

This movie is very excited. I became to like this movie after I saw it. I would like to watch it again.
