I can’t think of a good buddy film where the two buddies are identical types – you need that contrast…

Welcome to part two of our discussion of Midnight Run, a highly entertaining buddy movie that manages to be equal parts comedy, drama, and action film, and does so splendidly. Here we talk about how it blends all of these different moods so well, how and why it succeeds as a buddy movie, how great the performances were, and how we might want to change it if it were remade in today’s world. Enjoy!
