    Editorial Reviews

    What might have been a run-of-the-mill action/buddy flick becomes a wildly entertaining offbeat comedy thanks to wonderful performances by Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. In a film that is essentially one long chase, BEVERLY HILLS COP director Martin Brest provides plenty of suspenseful and spectacular action sequences involving planes, helicopters, trains, and automobiles. But it's the chemistry between odd couple DeNiro, playing a tough ex-cop turned bounty hunter, and Grodin, a fussy accountant who embezzled millions from the mob, that makes this movie shine. As DeNiro attempts, for a hefty fee, to deliver Grodin from New York to L.A., dodging both the bloodthirsty mob and the FBI, he discovers that the "airplane-phobic" accountant is more of a handful than he bargained for; he and Grodin also discover that they have much more in common than they could ever have imagined. The result is an action movie that transcends its genre, becoming a funny and affecting story about an unlikely friendship. Kryssa Schemmerling, Barnes & Noble

    August 05, 2008: I am a big DeNiro fan - who isn't? - because of his acting range. He has such comic timing in this movie that it's not to be missed. The plot of this movie is also good, as is the non-stop action. Some of the one-liners that DeNiro uses, with that straight face of his, are ones that you will quote for the rest of your life. This is one of my all-time favorite comedy AND action movies. Charles Grodin is also great, this movie is just great, I can't express it enough!

    August 26, 2004: This movie seemlessly blends action and comedy better than any movie I have ever seen. It is also one of DeNiro's best acting performances. This is one of my all-time favorites. It's a shame more people don't know about it.
