Sadly Over-hyped

An Exercise In Nonsense

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Disjointed storyline, very poor acting, some slow scenes, easily-anticipated happenings, some amateurish scripting, uneven cinematography, all contribute to make this a below-par flick. Of course, there are still some "reviewers" who give such a picture 10/10, like "angela-filmsociety" who titles her one-and-ONLY-review on IMDb "Hit & Run in tradition of B movie horrors". HUH??? Cast or crew member, or friend or relative? So, while the movie is not a total disaster, it is not satisfactory, but some viewers may enjoy the bloody gore featured! 4/10

Man I was watching this and I was thinking is that Kevin Corrigan from grounded for life?? Holy cow. He has the most gnarly teeth ever. That dental work was out of control dude. All yellow and jaggedly. That hit/run car crash really left him disfigured bad. He looks like one of the zombie guys who escaped from night of the living deads. Weird performance too. He keeps whispering incoherently and then raising his voice, with a savage kind of ferocity, totally into his role. I'd say, possessed like. I never seen Corrigan playing this kind of "villain" so that was bizarre. A 'departure' for him, no pun intended. Although his role is not that huge and you can barely tell it's him, this could be worth a look see esp if you're a Corrigan fan and want to see him in something different.

Mgm's hit and run has some wild scenes and some more silly scenes. The garage scene where she clubs him on the fender was wacky. The part where he's stalking her in the house creeped me out. but the best when he ties her up with party lights on the car for the ride from hell. too bad it's in the last hour, i'd have loved to see more of that stuff. the parts that were not so hot were all the split screen action when they talk on the phone, just seemed a wee bit blah. i particularly liked when the teacher kills the big talking boyfriend Ricky who i wanted to strangle myself. also when he kills the wife, I was shocked and did not expect. if the mid 20 or 30 minutes was less dream-like, i think i would have liked this even more. also by the end, I wasn't sure who got beat up more, the bad guy or the jeep!

Is actually not bad small horror movie. The way they made the movie is a little peculiar style but I think it worked, considering it seem meant as purely entertainment. I thought scary in parts and I particular like use of cinema technique, screen "wipe", "split screen" and such elements taken from the 1970s movies and some twisty plot. The result is often enjoyable B movie style, with some mixed results bad and good. The main character deliver a good anti-hero performance but must be 'dumb girl' to make it work, or maybe the point is girl is making all wrong decisions in emergency situation due to panic. After hour of a suspense game with some gore elements, the action kicks to a crazy revenge story, which for me is best part of last 30 minutes. Mostly it succeeds to defy the convention in low key manner, while still use some typical horror thriller formula styles. You may have to check your sense of logic at the door for some of it, but this is weird movie.
