Well, Killshot is not awful, but it comes close. Production values are
decent and the main actors do a pretty good job (except for Rosario
Dawson in a wasted role), but the story is just pathetic. I don't know
if the Elmore Leonard book had such dumb characters,since I haven't
read it, but I'm guessing that the book was supposed to be at least
slightly humorous. The movie has no detectable humor. After the first
twenty minutes, you'll be yelling at the screen, "Oh, come on! Nobody's
THAT stupid!!" In a nutshell, and without any spoilers, everybody acts
in a manner convenient to the plot, which makes no sense anyway. A very
frustrating and unrealistic movie, which may account for it sitting on
the shelf for as long as it did.
