    Individual moments in Hit and Runway are quite funny, but as a send-up of action-movie mindlessness, the movie is sometimes as dumb as its targets.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Desmond Ryan 50
    Begins with a scene of mass repentance, but the real sin here is a profligate waste of talent.

    A worthy subject is poorly executed.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Desmond Ryan 50
    Leaves you in no doubt of where the talent is in what would otherwise be a throwaway picture.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Desmond Ryan 50
    A tired, cobbled-together concoction.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    A temptation that can be easily and safely resisted.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    Plunges into a void created by a stale and incredibly derivative plot.
    • Metascore: 19
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    Really lost in space.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    As full of terrible acting as it is devoid of suspense.
    • Metascore: 18
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    The scenario looms as a brain-dead invitation for the stars to embarrass themselves, and Company Man wastes little time in fulfilling that glum suspicion.
    • Metascore: 22
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    Piously acted, stiffly directed, and infused with a view of world politics that might charitably be described as delusional.
    • Metascore: 26
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    A pointless modern morality play set in various sleazy locales that offer sex, drugs, assorted perversions, bare-knuckle fights, and even Russian roulette where lives are wagered for money.
    • Metascore: 23
    • Desmond Ryan 38
    If you are unlucky enough to stray into the presence of Bats, I strongly recommend you follow their wise example. Hang from the ceiling and go to sleep.
    • Metascore: 26
    • Desmond Ryan 25
    Wastes an A-list cast in a sorry send-up of B-movie private-eye cliches.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Desmond Ryan 25
    Repetitive and tedious.
    • Metascore: 30
    • Desmond Ryan 25
    The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Desmond Ryan 25
    A standard-issue, ineptly executed serving of the genre's staples, from skeptical cops to an all-knowing psychic.
