Default Brace yourself- Hit Me is coming to the big screen

Its "21" on a budget, with lousy acting, lousy writing and set in the Lady Luck.
The trailer is on the internet.

I just watched the trailer on IMDB. The trailer was really, really bad. Hopefully the movie will be much better but I doubt it. It has all the flaws of every other BJ movie but with a lower budget. When will somebody get it right?

Can someone post a link to the trailer? All I can find are old movies with that name.

Look at: http://hitmefilm.com/

The website has not been updated for well over a year.

I do not believe that this was ever finished / distributed.

Apparently it was distributed several years ago, probably straight to video/DVD. The distribution company also bought a movie called El Cortez which takes place in Reno for some reason. Anyone else ever heard of these movies?

HIT ME
06/07 - Distribution in Poland secured.
12/06 - Distribution in Argentina, Czech & Slovak Republics, and Romania secured.
06/06 - Distribution in Middle East & USSR secured.
12/05 - Distribution in Brazil, Canada, Greece and Israel secured.
09/05 - "Hit Me" finds US distribution.
09/05 - Distribution in Indonesia & Turkey secured.
06/05 - Distribution in South Africa secured.

I don't think anybody wants to see my version. A mind-numbingly accurate portrayal with terrible acting and no budget? People would walk out regardless of how great the editing is.

I've seen El Cortez. Its not a bad movie. Lou Diamond Phillips does a surprisingly good job as the night clerk.
For reasons that I can't determine, this 2005 movie(Hit Me) is set to see wide screen distribution.
