Review of Killshot (2008) by Chris J — 01 Apr 2009
Thomas (the Punisher) Jane and Mickey Rourke with a decent supporting cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rosario Dawson star in this misguided thriller. Rourke, a hitman, and Levitt, an unstable small time con, team up to hunt down two witnesses played by Jane and Diane Lane.
The villains along with their side of the story are well portrayed and genuinely intriguing. The biggest problem with Killshot is the good guys. Jane and Lane are pretty dull and the side plot relating to their marital issues is more irritating than anything. Rosario Dawson seems oddly cast in a relatively minor role.
Rourke has an undeniable presence which makes this film worth seeing. Killshot is a decent genre pic which could have been much more.
