FILM: Killshot

Killshot
Starring Diane Lane, Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Mickey Rourke, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Mysterious Skin), Rosario Dawson, and Johnny Knoxville.

Plot: "Beautiful Carmen Colson (Lane) and her ironworker husband Wayne (Jane) are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing an "incident". Thinking they are at last safe, they are targeted by an experienced [mob] hit man (Rourke) and a psychopathic young upstart killer (Gordon Levitt). The ensuing struggle will test Carmen to the limit."

You will once again see Gordon-Levitt like you've never seen him before. Mysterious Skin, Brick, they were just the icing on the disturbed and peculiar cake. Gordon-Levitt, by his silence and appearance in the trailer, seems utterly psychotic. He's building range like he's going out for the majors. I'm just waiting to see which big Hollywood exec snaps him up for an Oscar guarantee. Lane will play a woman who learns not to be pushed into a cage, kind of like J.Lo in Enough, except without the boxing lessons. Rourke, of course, plays his usual alpha male, bad ass role like it's his every day demeanor. But he is pretty damn good at it. After hearing him say “You know what I do for a living? I shoot people. Sometimes for money. Sometimes for nothing," I believe I'm in for a real thriller.

Check out the trailer!
