Killshot, 2009

KILLSHOT
Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke

CRIME DRAMA THRILLER

Known only by his alias "Blackbird", mafia hit man Armand Degas always eliminates his target, along with any and all possible witnesses.

Carmen and Wayne Colson are in the middle of sorting out a divorce and inadvertently witness a botched hit. While they managed to fend off the attack, they are next on the hit list and are put under witness protection. Not before long, Blackbird catches up to the Colsons' and its a fight for survival and each other.



The Good : Tense scenes, great performance by Joseph Gordon Levitt
The Bad : Some dead pan acting, uninspired average 'killer on the loose' plot

-5/10

=======================
THOUGHTS/SPOILERS :

Overall an average movie about a killer on the loose with a more fully featured ensemble cast of B List actors and actresses. I bought this as I was curious about the acting history of Mickey Rourke given his casting in the recent movie, The Expendables.

Rourke commands a bit of screen presence but his acting is rather subdued and stiff. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance takes the cake as the loud mouth wanton bank robber whom Rourke's character takes under his wing.

The movie was suitably tense in areas but let down by its predictable plot.
