Midnight Run (1988 Martin Brest)

George Gallo's action-comedy screenplay has bail bondsman de Niro trying to retrieve Charles Grodin to LA whilst being pursued by the FBI (Yaphet Kotto), the mob (Dennis Farina and Philip Baker Hall) and fellow bondsman John Ashton. With a touch of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. de Niro-Grodin relationship works.

Danny Elfman's blues rock score is a bit much to take.
