I just saw a commercial for something called Cat Run, opening tomorrow (April 1), and I was somewhat taken aback because (a) the commercial was on Espn and (b) it opens tomorrow and I had not heard a word about this movie before seeing the commercial on Espn.
I watch a lot of television, but I rarely watch Espn. Yet, for all the hours spent in front of the flat screen, watching every other freakin' channel available, I catch the trailer for Cat Run in the 5 minutes spent watching sports news. The producers are obviously seeking a very specific demographic. To extend the sports theme the producers seem to favor: Red Flag.
Based on the trailer, Cat Run appears to be a smart, likeable action romp reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's better work. From what I can tell, the story involves two inept, long-time buddies who decide to become private detectives...

Director John Stockwell (Middle of Nowhere) has signed to direct movie titled Roadkill, and we’re here today to share some interesting details about the project that’s already being described as “hilariously violent action comedy.”
Roadkill is a story written by Nick Ball and John Niven, and it will follow:
“…Anthony who always dreamed of being a famous chef. Julian only thought about women. With neither really working out, what do these childhood best friends decide to do? Start a detective agency, of course!
Unfortunately for them, their first case – to save a hot prostitute from the Russian mob and a sex crazed, murdering Us Senator – puts them on the run from a ruthless, yet Mary Poppins-like assassin whose intent is to brutally torture and kill whomever is unlucky enough to get in her way. Just an average day for two clueless losers….”
