Review of Hitman's Run

Hitman's Run (1999)
5/10
you cant quit the mob
8 June 2021
Eric Roberts is Tony, who has worked for a crime family for many years. Doing illegal things. But when it comes time to quit the business, and testify, they take it personally. And they never forget. Thomas Howell is the fed that brings him in. Now when someone has hacked into the FBI database, they want Tony's help containing the damage. Of course, Tony and his own family are in that witness protection program, so it's in his own best interest to do what he can to stop the list from being shared. Esteban Powell is a hacker skater thrasher kid, who trades the database tothe mob for his dad's location. Also in the WP program. But now Brian the hacker seems to regret it. He spends the first part of the film yelling wow and oh no! Tony drags him along as his sidekick, since they seem to need each other. It's pretty cheesy. The characters say and do pretty silly things, but the underlying story is pretty sound. Officer Holly (Howell) keeps saying "You've got to come to our office", but the feds don't seem to be working on anything themselves. And the crooks laugh and smile a lot. Not sure why. Directed by Mark Lester; had also done Firestarter and Commando. Story by Eric Barker. Not much info on him.
