Midnight Run (1988) *FIRST TIME WATCHING REACTION* Action Comedy

[@AndyJayroe]

Back in college in the early 90's, we would get locked up on Friday nights before our football games the next day. Midnight Run was one of our go-to Friday night watches.

Dennis Farina, Serrano, was a cop in Chicago. This was his first major role and he crushed it. Snatch was his best movie, but every small role he’s in he steals the scene

[@robertmielke3380]

His first major role was in "crime story" TV series 1986

[@tennesseenate7314]

I watched this movie in 88 I was 12 years old.I've always loved this movie and i've probably seen it a thousand times in the past 35 years thank you for doing this movie.I had a ball watching you react to it

[@chrisleebowers]

"You guys are the worst bounty hunters ever! You couldn't deliver a bottle of milk!"

[@Drawkcabi]

So glad you are reacting to this movie!!!

[@FlixTalk]

So glad I could watch it as well!

[@lfkk4640]

Finally, a reaction to this classic. Love all the F-Bombs. The plane scene was filmed in my hometown Cameron,Az. My uncle/boss(rip) says "No Telephone" 😂 The two gangsters & Marvin were hilarious. SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE!!! 🤣 Great Review.

[@mrkelso]

Great reaction. Like you said, DeNiro's chemistry with Grodin is on fire here, and elevates this from a good action-comedy to a great one. Thank you.

[@tennesseenate7314]

This. Movie tears me up at the end every time.I just now finish your reaction and i'm Teared up again this movie brings back memories

[@tc-du4ip]

Great movie and great reaction man! Their chemistry was top notch👏🏽👏🏽

[@jaybird8192]

This is one of my favorite action/comedy movies! One of the best movies of the 80s!!!

[@ivanalmendras6974]

Man , DeNiro made everything !! Great action / comedy !!! Great reaction !

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I worked at a theater showing this back in the day, and I had to wear a promo badge on my uniform that said, "I'm Mosley"!!! Glad you got a kick out of this one.

[@christopherbako]

That was so fun! Great job dude 👍

[@vincentsaia6545]

Dennis Furina's real-life partner in the Chicago PD was the basis for Al Pacino's character in HEAT which co-starred Robert DeNiro.

[@MrAitraining]

YES! I've seen this so many times. Classic. Might be my fav Deniro performance.

[@richardlicht7927]

Check out the movie "Stardust". Besides being a great movie it has Deniro in a role you have never seen him as before. It is not a huge part though.

[@groothewanderer3710]

Good reaction! Def a hidden gem movie. @3:22 the actor you mentioned you remember from the Bad Boy movies. That's actor Joe Pantoliano. First time I saw him was in Tom Cruise's breakout movie Risky Business(1983). Also a good movie. Fyi, the guy who plays Marvin and keeps taking Deniro's bounty,..was also in Martin Brest's Beverely Hills Cop, where he plays Sgt. Taggart.

[@TheTrashStash]

oh man, this is my favorite comedy movie ever! i swear you react to the best movies on youtube.

[@FlixTalk]

Thank u!

[@chrisfromlongisland803]

Glad you got to see this one. One of my Favs. Great Cast. Everyone in it is so good.

[@TTM9691]

I'm just in the credits and this reaction is already great! 😄 Just like The Poseidon Adventure, I KNOW this is going to rock before I even click on it! Totally money in the bank for me, there's NO WAY this reaction can miss! 😀This movie came after a few years where De Niro ONLY did supporting roles! It's a mystery why, but he did smaller parts in Brazil, The Mission, Angel Heart and The Untouchables. This was the first lead role he had done in a few years....and in a buddy cop action movie? We couldn't believe it. Not only that: this is what he did after The Untouchables! Look at how much weight he gained for Untouchables.....and how much he lost for THIS movie. (He wanted to be thin and gaunt). Ok, let me finish this reaction, I can't wait a minute longer!!!

[@weyland1000]

Awesome . Your reacting to Midnight Run . Saw this in theatres when it was released . Love the banter between Walsh and Alonzo Mosely.

[@FlixTalk]

The banter is the best. Thanks for watching

[@KENDALLSQUARE-o7p]

YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST, AND I ENJOYED YOUR REACTIONS TO MOVIES AND THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO MOVIES IN 70S. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@FlixTalk]

Hey thanks! Thank you for the support

[@ts1ezrdr]

Loved this movie! I remember seeing it in the theater. A couple more for Charles Grodin: The Woman in Red (1984) and Taking Care of Business (1990).

[@andystacey2687]

One of many favourite Robert De Niro movies 🍿 fantastic

[@daendiznigh]

Your reaction was the best bro ! 🎉😂 thanks for this man 👍👍

[@daendiznigh]

That pay phone ain’t “old school technology “ bro …your smart phone is just “new technology” is all 😂

[@FlixTalk]

What did I say that was incorrect

[@daendiznigh]

@@FlixTalkno no your good !! 👍👏👏 thank you for your great reaction bro! That was tons of fun man 👍👍

[@korybeavers6528]

Such a great movie! so glad someone finally reacted to it

[@CorneliusWilliams-j8j]

Great reaction. Not many have reacted to this film. As for the $1,000 bills. They're no longer issued but are still considered legal tender (along with $500, $5,000, and $10,000). So turn 'em in if you still got 'em.

[@edwardbevington9351]

Great reaction Flix 👍

[@davidwalsh7128]

Great job. My all time favorite Road Trip film...

[@stevemelvin7308]

Cool reaction. I forgot about this 80s movie.👍👍

[@seanswinton6242]

Great film with one of my favourite Danny Elfman film scores.

[@BufordTGleason]

Awesome soundtrack too…it’s was great being in my early 20s those days!

[@Piwork69]

My late dad and I went to the theater on a Sunday night in 1988 to watch this movie. Seems like only recently.

[@vincentsaia6545]

Originally conceived as a love story with Cher in the Charles Grodin role.

[@AntonioMontana-pu8ho]

Yes, there used to be $500, $1000 and $10,000 bills. They are collectibles now and they can be purchased at coin and currency shows around the country. They are still legal tender valid money, but are worth more than face value as collectibles based on condition.

[@chrisleebowers]

"You lied to ME first..."

[@FlixTalk]

Some of the best banter I've heard in a long time lol

[@daendiznigh]

Oh snap! This was an HBO banger back in the days and I remember when it hit theaters as well. I was just a kid of course but watched it a lot on cable. I’m 47 now and when about 7 yrs ago , I ordered this DVD off Amazon 😂 watch “the legend of billy jean” next bro 😂🎉

[@cryptowerewolf1508]

Absolute classic !!!

[@willcool713]

$1000 dollar bills are still very much in circulation, but because of money laundering all the serial numbers are accounted for, generally in bundles with provenance like artifacts. They are mostly only used in very large transactions between banks or corporations, transfers between vaults.

[@TheTrashStash]

not sure if you've ever seen it, but if not check out the pope of greenwich village sometime. it's mickey rourke and eric roberts in kind of a comedy-drama. a lot of people dont realize that the movie friday with ice cube is like a remake of pope of greenwich village

[@reddwarf9422]

Looooove this one!

[@FlixTalk]

It was fun and funny! 😂

[@yournamehere6002]

The script is by George Gallo, not Martin Brest

[@selkirk57]

Good reaction and edit. Great to see you reacting to these offbeat forgotten gems. Add 'Charley Varrick' to your list for another one.

[@vincentsaia6545]

$1000 bills exist and are legitimate currency but only bills up to $100 are now printed. The highest denomination in U.S. currency was a $100,000 bill used only by the Federal Reserve.

[@HisNameIsJoeyAndILovehim]

If you haven't watched Hot Pursuit, you should also do a first time watching reaction for that as well.(the one from 2015)

[@jonwmeyer11]

Even though I don't like Deniro today, I still love this movie and it's always been one of my favorite all time comedies.

[@daendiznigh]

💯 hate him today love everything he used to be though 😂 at least in my head what i thought he was. My hero

[@vicky42559]

I love this movie

[@honestpolitician6366]

the litmus configuration

[@tomwallace3103]

If you liked this, watch running scared with billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.

[@willcool713]

De Niro has to do those Stiller comedies, if he wants to work, because they make money. He has the curse of being a timeless master of dramatic acting that never makes big money. Critics and fans love his work, but he isn't a big draw at the box office, weirdly, sadly. The money people are always hesitant to get into a project when they hear he's involved, sometimes they even pull money when he gets cast. Plus, he's older and probably doesn't get as many offers as he used to.

[@futuregenerationz]

Great movie that gets no reactions.

[@FlixTalk]

That's a shame

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Only other great reaction to this movie is tbr Schmitt! besides flixtalks 😊

[@MustafaErem-d5o]

Great movie

[@brl0522]

Dennis Farina is the real star of this movie…

[@Zebred2001]

Another similar movie is Made (2001).

[@cleonmagabeefy8500]

I never did like the ending...

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Then something is wrong with you lol... I'm jk guy don't get angry! Your opinion.
