Some movies have a lot of fluff, they could really be a 45 minute tv show, but they filled it out to movie length. However, the story is still interesting enough that I want to see the end, so I skip past the fluff, instead of just shutting it off. Most movies I start, I end up shutting off in inside the first 30 minutes. I'm very hard to please, I guess? Yet another reason I don't go to the theater anymore. I found I was walking out on movies too often, which is a waste of money.
This movie is mostly meat, and I couldn't predict the end, so I'm wasn't compelled to skip any parts.
Right on, I just can't do it. Never know when a juicy bit is gonna come by.
Right, like why even watch anything if you're going to just skip ahead?
Midnight Run is actually a great movie, I only watched it for the first time a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting, I have another movie to watch now.
Midnight Run is great!
