This Action Comedy Classic Is Basically Planes, Trains & Automobiles With Guns
In theory, action comedy should be one of the most wildly entertaining movie genres. Audiences get the nail-biting excitement of car chases and the rib-tickling fun of inter-character banter all at once. But it’s rare that an action comedy has both the visceral thrills of an action movie and the laugh-out-loud hilarity of a comedy movie. They usually err more on one side than the other. Martin Brest’s 1988 masterpiece Midnight Run is a rare example of an action comedy that’s both exhilarating and hilarious. The movie could aptly be described as Lethal Weapon meets Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
