Take the Mob, lots of action and mix it with a well written comedic script and you get a surprisingly enjoyable movie. Tired of the same old bloated budget spoofs? This is one to watch...

This is a good movie if you like a lot of action. The pace was quick, the story was interesting, and I was totally engrossed from beginning to end. I definitely would recommend this movie.

Bullets and one-liners fly with reckless abandon, fast enough for even die hard action fans. Despite poor production value and amatuer direction, the writing stands out in one of the smartest action flicks you'll find on the small screen.

Great plot, cool characters, intense action. For anyone who likes discovering obscure movies, instead of just watching whatever's at the local multi-plex, this is one for your collection.

A surprisingly good action movie that stars what I consider to be a movie killer--Eric Roberts. The direction is not great (sloppy and uneven) but is saved by a very well written script (by unknown Eric Barker). Violent--yes, but then again the movie is called Hitman's Run and the box has a very large gun pointing at you. If you want family friendly entertainment go rent a Disney cartoon. If you like good shoot 'em up action movies that don't treat the viewer as an idiot this one's a find.

If you are an ERIC ROBERTS fan this is one for the books. Hitman's Run. A great story idea but it is destroyed by the direction. Choppy, sloppy and often confusing. Mark Lester seems to be going backwards instead of forward. It is saved only by Eric Roberts and Damian Chapa. I want to know who edited this thing. He or she fails to let the shots develop especially in the action sequences. Great car chases, good fight scenes and hefty explosions. Who did the 2nd Unit? It really carried and probably saved the movie. Yes, low-budget but still a good, no-brainer Friday night experience. MARK LESTER: BRING ME MORE LIKE THAT!

This review is for the Amazon VOD rental of this film. Eric Roberts is a very good
actor stuck in a super long series of grade B or lower movies. Roberts is almost
always entertaining to watch even in the really bad ones. I can't say that about
this one. It's a decent story but every actor in it sleep walks through it. Roberts
is too good an actor to be stuck in trash like this. There is very little I can
recommend about this flick.

This is an action packed film. Eric Roberts was a great choice for the lead. Five stars for the screenwriter. I hope this is just the beginning for Eric Barker.

A bit skeptical at first, however knowing Eric Barker's writing, I knew he could pull it off. This was definately action packed, but with a gripping and compelling story. Gibson may have been busy that day, but it is his loss not Mr. Barker's. Good job Eric!

This is a great find for action lovers! A tight script makes the plot engrossing and the action scenes rock. We'll be seeing more from the hot young writer Eric Barker. I hear his next film is a Mel Gibson deal.
