'Hitman's Run' is your typical 90's see-it-and-forget-it dtv title. It's not the worst thing you'll view, but barely passable. Eric Roberts headlines this low level action tale from director Mark L. Lester who's done better work and far away from his glory days. A few known faces in the cast pick up quick paychecks as well.

Tony Lazorka (Roberts) was the #1 hitman for a mafia family, but when he showed mercy to his last target the family wanted him dead. So he goes into the witness protection program and only years later does his past life comes back to haunt him when the mob buys a hacked FBI list exposing all the witnesses, their new identities and locations.

You got familiar actors as mobsters (Robert Miano, Damian Chapa), but the acting isn't great and neither is the action. Cheap, lazy, absurd with Lazorka supposed to be this great hitman, but he certainly doesn't act like one. The guy used to coldly kill people for money, but is a loving family man now too ... cliche 101.

'Hitman's Run' is the kind of movie I could have seen myself watching on late night tv twenty years ago when nothing else was on and I was desperate. That's how bored or limited your options should be. There's no crazy stunts or even female nudity to help make this fun and while Roberts isn't asleep at the wheel, he's going thru the motions.
