Review

a year after planes, trains and automobiles came out this similar film was released. it’s not in the same class as that masterpiece, but it’s a good film. deniro is a bounty hunter and grodin is an ex-mob accountant who didn’t know he was working for the mob and ended up stealing from the mob and giving to the poor. now he’s being hunted by deniro, a competing bounty hunter, the mob, and the fbi. it’s got a little bit of comedy and adventure. the growth of the two characters and their journey are what drive the film. deniro and grodin both turn in good performances. a little on the long side.
