RANT - Hit and Run

Bradley Cooper managed to slide this low-budget, low-thrills caper into his higher-impact and better-received Silver Linings Playbook, Hangover, and Limitless resume.

Former getaway driver Charlie Bronson jeopardizes his Witness Protection Plan identity in order to help his girlfriend return from their middle-of-nowhere, quiet life to Los Angeles and her new job. His former partners-in-crime Bradley Cooper and some unknown manage to intersect with the Charlie and his girlfriend en route to LA, with predictable results.

This was billed as a "comedy" but managed to leave my sides decidedly un-split, and the rest of me un-moved by what was a hit and run movie with few hits and not much of a run.

Low budget Tom Arnold, Beau Bridges and a few other inconsequentials fill out a cast that turned this into a pedestrian movie that had little to recommend it.
