I've seen a number of low budget films (Napoleon Dynamite, Bottle Rocket, Clerks, etc...) and I believe this film, '2 Hit men', is a very funny original film. First off, I watched the movie with low expectations being that it was a straight to DVD release. I found myself surprised at how well the film looked and how strong the music was.
Also, when I think of a low budget film, it normally doesn't involve many characters. This film had some hilarious guys in it (a desert rat, an old Asian guy, an Italian with questionable sexual preference, and a mentally challenged Mexican guy). Aside from the two main characters, this is a lot of 'character' actors moving around the story. And they did it very effectively.
I don't want to give too much away, but the story is relatively simple yet quietly smart. 2 guys want to find more excitement in their life but are continually trying to avoid responsibility and growing up. This leads them to train to be like their heroes from classic films like 'The Professional' and 'Pulp Fiction'. Their training scenes are pretty funny, but there are numerous moments that got me laughing out loud.
Also, I liked how they dropped in a few hot chicks without this being all about nudity. I hate the National Lampoon films that are basically soft-core porn, but they dropped in some hotties without really going to extremes. It was a solid display.
Finally, I will say this about '2 Hit men'...if you want to watch a fun small film and laugh, this is your movie. The movie won't blow you away and you won't find the answers to life in it, but you'll have a good time. I was very impressed with this little comedy and strongly recommend it!
