An accountant is chased by bounty hunters, the F.B.I., and the Mafia after jumping bail.
This is a great buddy comedy with equal parts action and laughs. The chemistry between De Niro & Grodin works perfectly and the supporting cast does an amazing job too. It’s just a fun movie to watch.
FUN FACT: The boxcar scene--where Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) and John Mardukas (Charles Grodin) discuss whether or not they could ever be friends--was almost entirely improvised on-set. As regards Grodin's famous line, "You ever had sex with an animal, Jack?": he was told by director Martin Brest to come up with something that was guaranteed to make even Robert De Niro laugh.
