Film Review - Hit and Run

A great car chase movie should inspire the viewer to leap out of the theater when the end credits hit, sprint through the parking lot, dive into their automobile, and burn rubber back home, dodging imaginary bad guys on the way. It should trigger a dormant recklessness that’s frowned upon in daily life, creating a surge of pedal-to-the-metal daydreams. “Hit and Run” doesn’t bring out four-wheeled fantasies. It actually encourages a great deal of boredom as it lumbers from scene to scene, placing its emphasis on a troubled relationship between two insipid individuals, while the “Run” of the title is a rare occurrence, making more of a cameo appearance as writer/co-director/star Dax Shepard provides more screen time to dreary drama than an electric pursuit element most will be itching to dig into.
