Brest next developed the sci-fi thriller "War Games" (released in 1983) but was pushed off in favor of John Badham.
Brest then joined the succession of major filmmakers who were involved in but did not make "Rain Man" before directing Robert De Niro in an effective light-hearted role, opposite Charles Grodin in "Midnight Run" (1988), which also marked his producing debut.
Released at the height of public interest in the Affleck-Lopez romance, the film underwent much tinkering and reshooting to accomodate the public expectation of an on-screen dalliance between the two, despite the fact that Lopez's character was written and originally shot as a confirmed lesbian.

Director Martin Brest rocketed to the top of Hollywood's A list with the blockbuster success of Beverly Hills Cop, and this 1988 follow-up is even better.
Midnight Run is a genuine rarity--an action comedy that's dramatically satisfying--thanks to a sharp script by George Gallo, the superb teaming of Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin, and Brest's consummate skill in combining suspense and humour with well-developed characters.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - GIGLI - rhymes with really, but don't blame Jen & Ben, Martin Brest wrote this mess!!
Unfortunately, director-writer Martin Brest ("Meet Joe Black") shows a complete lack of ability in mixing the fl comedy elements into the romantic ones.
Still, I feel that the critic's ostracizing of Ben and Jen is unfair because Martin Brest wrote this junk, and his 'F'-this-'F'-that writing style gets real old real fast (Mamet he ain't).
The only reason this film is watchable at all is because the technical guys got their job right and made Ben and Jen look great in every shot.
