In this fast-paced action-comedy, bounty hunter Robert De Niro and bounty Charles Grodin generate sparkling chemistry while on the run from the usual array of mobsters, FBI agents and competing bounty hunters.
Grodin is especially good, whinging on about smoking while taking an indignant moral high ground -a kind of latter-day Robin Hood.
Director Martin Brest comfortably folds in the standard car chases and shoot-outs with deliciously handled comedy that oozes with quick-fired wit.
