Reviews for Killshot
the quality of the A-list cast's performances do deserve a tip of the hat.
The film's biggest problem is not that it's a disaster, but that it's merely tepid and dull.
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.
