Film after film: Midnight Run (dir. Martin Brest, 1988)
Despite featuring the most obnoxious soundtrack in a few entertaining and relaxed chase scenes, it was a more pleasant watch than I expected. It's one of the films whose cover I saw all the time in VHS rental shops. Grodin and De Niro are a great couple of leads, never overplaying or chasing broad comedy laughs, which would be quite easy here. Others are pretty good too, especially Kotto, who steals scenes as a permanently pissed FBI agent.

You didn't like the whole idea of my being a cop, so don't give me that shit.

Serpico (1973). An honest New York cop named Frank Serpico blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the force only to have his comrades turn against him.
What a well structured, tightly told film! It’s the political thriller at it’s best – ramping up the stakes and exploring corruption in a really compelling way. Al Pacino is at his best in the title role, but the entire supporting cast delivers too. It’s a strong film that feels in a lot of ways more timely than ever. ACAB. 8/10.
