Cast: Robert De Niro, Charles
Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, John Ashton, Dennis Farina
Directed by Martin
Brest
An ex-cop turned bounty hunter will get
$100,000 for bringing in an accountant that embezzled $15 million
from a large chicago mob boss. It figured to be a piece of cake, but
things turn unbelievable complicated when the accountant refuses to
fly in a plane, and they end up being chased all over the country by
the mob boss' goons out to kill the quarry, the feds who want him as
a witness against the boss, and a rival bounty hunter also out for
the big money for bringing him in.
Top-notch comedy/action vehicle from the
director of another great 80s comedy/action classic BEVERLY HILLS
COP., Martin Brest. The pace never lets up as one hilarious scene
after another go by in this thoroughly satifying and hilarious
adventure. De Niro is good as usual, but the film is stolen by
Charles Grodin in the best role of his career as the whining
accountant, Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas. One of my favorite
comedies, and very highly recommended.
