Synopsis​

"DE NIRO AND GRODIN ARE JUST BRILLIANT TOGETHER..." – Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) is a tough ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas (Charles Grodin) is a sensitive accountant who embezzled $15 million from the mob, gave it to charity and then jumped bail. Jack's in for a cool $100,000 if he can deliver The Duke from New York to L.A. on time ... and alive. Sounds like just another Midnight Run (a piece of cake in bounty hunter slang), but it turns into a cross-country chase. The FBI wants The Duke to testify, the mob wants him for revenge, and Walsh wants him to just shut up. If someone else doesn't do the job, the two unlikely partners may end up killing each other in this hilarious, action-filled ride from producer/director Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop).

No new extras, not that there weren't enough already. Will have to wait for reviews on this one to see if it's worth the upgrade.

While I'm unsure whether the regular Blu-ray in this 4K set is the well liked previous or a new transfer but I have to say that this is the best it's looked on home video. I had the Image letterboxed DVD, that was probably sourced from the laserdisc master and looked fine on a small tube TV. The Universal DVD was a total disappointment, I assumed the Blu-ray was sourced from the same master and so never purchased it. I have streamed it from Prime a couple of times and it looked fine not stellar. Hope this helps!
