Movie Review: Killshot

Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Synopsis: When a husband and wife witness a shakedown, they discover that the Witness Protection Program is no match for a pair of ruthless killers who want them dead.

Starring: Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, Michelle Arvizu, Richard Zeppieri, Hal Holbrook, Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Directed by: John Madden
U.S. Rating: PG-13

Killshot is such an interesting thriller plot with a very unique and talented cast. Mickey Rourke plays the role of a contract killer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a complete different role for what we've been used to see him play... the nice romantic guy. This time, he plays the role of a very irresponsible and violent non-educated delinquent who has found in Mickey a tutor. Diane Lane plays the role of the real state agent who's been dealing with a difficult marriage relationship with Thomas Jane. When Mickey and Joseph confuse Thomas with Diane's boss, the owner of the real state company, she gets in trouble for being able to identify Mickey as the responsible of the assault. They immediately start being chased by these two delinquents and they need to be kept protected under the Witness Protection Program. Mickey and Joseph find the way to get the place where they've been relocated and they start the journey to complete their work. Will they be able to do it? Well, they're not that lucky, when Diane and her husband take the law on their own hands. A really interesting and entertaining action/thriller. Totally recommended for a good movie night at home.

What did I like from this movie?

1. I really enjoyed the different role played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. After watching him in most of his movies as the good romantic guy, watching him playing the role of a crazy irresponsible and violent delinquent, I found it pretty interesting!
2. The moment when Joseph breaks into the empty house, really funny!
3. The whole situation when Mikey and Joseph arrive to the real state offices and they get bit up by Diane's husband

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. There were few slow moments that made the film a little boring

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
