Killshot is undoubtedly a mess, but it's a nicely contained jumble with a few great moments of thespian interaction to counteract the estimated 1,000 hands that mangled this picture over the last three years of post-production.

Reviews for Killshot
The film's biggest problem is not that it's a disaster, but that it's merely tepid and dull.
the quality of the A-list cast's performances do deserve a tip of the hat.
An Elmore Leonard adaptation starring Mickey Rourke as a contract killer. And this barely got released? Goddamn Weinstein Company...
