The MovieSite — Hit & Run

Hit & Run

A comedy that never takes its foot off the gas.

Inspired by the Bert Reynolds movie Smokey and the Bandit, this is the story of Charlie Bronson (yes!), a nice guy with a questionable past who risks everything when he busts out of the witness protection program to deliver his fiancé to Los Angeles for a job interview. Their road trip grows progressively more complicated over time, when they are chased by Federal Agents, and Charlie's former pals, a band of gangsters... Expect a lot of car chases.

100 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language, Nudity, Violence)
Action, Comedy, Romance.

Box Office (USA)Pete Hammond Rising above the average level of this type of car chase genre picture, Hit and Run scores points for deftly marrying comedy and action with likeable leads

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert A lot more fun than the title suggests

ReelViews (USA)James Berardinelli A slow, meandering misfire of a movie

RottenTomatoes.comTomatometer Though Hit & Run has some surprisingly oft-kilter filmmaking, the action doesn't add to much and the writing's a bit smug.
