"Hit & Run" has its share of big laughs, but for every joke that works, there's another that doesn't. While the premise is interesting, it can't seem to decide if it wants to be a crazy mad-cap comedy or lean more towards the dramatic implications that someone in the witness protection might face and balance it out with some laughs. If you're a fan of fast cars though, the movie has some cool driving sequences and is more than happy to show off how fast and well the characters can drive. I didn’t feel like the movie was even trying to appease my cinematic tastes, mostly because as far as I’m concerned, cars are only interesting if they’re getting you from point A to B, or if they’re turning into alien robots. I also didn’t particularly care for the sex humour in the film, least of all the “joke” that is simply showing male genitalia and the recurring prison rape gags. I still had enough laughs that I didn’t feel like I was wasting my time, and can see gear heads liking the movie more than I would, but it’s still just an average movie. Fun for some, but the only people who will really remember this movie fondly are the actors. (theatrical cut on the big screen, August 14, 2012)
