Dax Shepard is a man of many talents. The star of MTV's Punk'd wrote, produced and directed Hit and Run and his talent shines through the film, an independent production with a $2 million budget. There is a rawness about Hit and Run and a refreshing telling of the story.
Dax plays Charles Bronson, a man who lives in rural California because he's in the witness protection programme.
Bronson (his new identity) used to be the getaway driver for a couple of bank robbers. When he decided to testify against his cohorts he was hidden for his own safety.
In his new home he finds love with school teacher Annie Bean (Dax's real-life fiancee Kristen Bell) and for 12 months lives a carefree life. Annie knows nothing of Charlie's past but when a job opportunity opens up for her in Los Angeles, details begin to emerge about the real Charlie.
The couple's road trip to Los Angeles for her interview becomes fraught with danger when Alex (Bradley Cooper), his former bank-robbing mate, learns of Charlie's re-emergence.
