Here's a misfire: Diane Lane and Thomas Jane play a couple who witness a crime, and are swiftly placed in the FBI Federal Witness Protection Programme where they are given new identities and new lives. But try as they might, they can't outrun the bad guys (Mickey Rourke and Joseph Gordon-Levitt)
Based on a Elmore Leonard novel, Killshot is a flat and predictable thriller that is made slightly more watchable by the strong cast. Diane Lane and Thomas Jane are reliably good, while Mickey Rourke delivers a fine performance to match his Oscar-nominated turn in The Wrestler. Joseph Gordon-Levitt over-acts but at least he gives you something to watch.
The fault seems to lie squarely with Hossein Amini's dull script and John Madden's unfocused direction. John once made marvelous films like Shakespeare in Love and Mrs Brown, but his new film and his last (2005's Proof) are simply mediocre.
