Hit & Run

Literally. And by smoke I mean cigarettes, in an incredibly sensual manner. If you have a smoking fetish, then this movie and Kari Wuhrer are for you. The tease and attitude are unmistakably intentional. She knew exactly what she was doing and she played it up, to perfection.

If you're a fan of the incredibly stunning and sexy Kari Wuhrer (Kari Salin in this one)...this is a must-see. The acting, apart from Wuhrer is very "Showtime late-night". Which is ok, because that's where I saw it. Kari plays an abused hooker with an attitude (she's a natural). But it's the scenes in which she shows...uh...more that make it worthwhile. Two very revealing sex scenes- one in a barn, and one in a hotel involving handcuffs are unbelievable. Well, actually Kari is unbelievable. This one has a few different names but...whatever you want to call it. See it for ALL of Kari.

Exploitation movies get redefined every ten years or so. Changing tastes is not so much the reason as the changing ways to deliver this stuff to its public. In the era of direct to-video, and made-for (late night) cable, the genre has become fragmented, but prospered as well.

One consistency throughout the ages is the need for a sexy woman-she needs to act a bit, but not too much because her actions should always speak louder than her words.

Kari Wuhrer, once of MTV's Remote Control, is moving to the forefront here, She's a better actress than Shannon Whirry, younger, hipper than Shannon Tweed. Keep an eye out for her.

At 86 minutes `Hot Blooded' as it was titled for DVD is not a major waste of time. And if you keep your finger near the ‘fast forward' button you can probably cut the time spent in half.

As for David Keith, your 10 or so minutes are not worth whatever pittance they paid you. Step up to the plate son, or step away all together.

This is a guy movie and a pretty good one at that. The chick who plays Miya is drop dead gorgeous and her character is way uninhibited. She's a Terri Hatcher look alike and you can see by her filmography she's been in some good stuff. Everyone else in this flick should either blow their brains out or get real jobs. Especially Burt Young although the former fat guy from Rocky is pretty well cut for an old formally fat guy from Rocky.

The scene in the theater will always date the film as being made at the same time as Alanis Morissette sold 9 billion copies of her first album.

The final scenes of the movie are where it really deteriorates but it's worth the wait to see Trent's dad and try to figure out where you've seen him. (An Officer and A Gentleman)

I caught this on Showtime as "Hit and Run" and if you're reading this so did you

I actually had hopes for this movie since I've seen Kari in a few other things and think she has some talent. Alas, this dud is a case study in what not to do in a screenplay. Completely undefined characters without a shred of likeability, and no plot whatsoever. Is it a road/buddy/comedy/thriller/romance/drama? The filmmakers don't have a clue, and neither do we.
