Hitman's Run

About This Movie

Hitman's Run is one of those late '90s action-crime films that kind of slips under the radar. The premise centers on a former hitman, now in witness protection, who gets dragged back into his violent past when his family is threatened. It's not just about gunfights and car chases, though—there's this interesting dynamic with a skateboarding kid who becomes his ally. The pacing has that classic '90s feel, where it builds tension without rushing the story. The performances are decent, not overly flashy, but they fit the gritty vibe. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm. It’s distinct in how it juxtaposes the brutal world of mob life with the innocence of youth, which is kinda fascinating in its own right.
