Killshot is a 2008 crime thriller film directed by John Madden and based on a novel of the same name by Elmore Leonard. The movie stars Diane Lane, Thomas Jane, Mickey Rourke, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The story revolves around Carmen Colson (Diane Lane) and her husband Wayne (Thomas Jane), who are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing a mafia-related incident. They move to a new city and assume new identities, hoping to start a new life. However, their peace is soon shattered when they are targeted by two hitmen - the seasoned professional Armand "The Blackbird" Degas (Mickey Rourke) and his reckless and unpredictable partner Richie Nix (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).
As Armand and Richie close in on their targets, they come up against obstacles that complicate their mission - including Carmen's flirtatious advances towards Armand, which he struggles to resist. Meanwhile, Wayne, who is unhappy with the Witness Protection program's restrictions on his life, decides to take matters into his own hands and confront the hitmen.
The tension builds as Armand and Richie close in on Carmen and Wayne, leading to a fatal showdown. In the end, the couple manages to outsmart the hitmen and escape with their lives, but not without leaving a trail of blood and violence in their wake.
Killshot received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of the cast but criticism for its uneven pacing and excessive violence. Despite this, the movie remains a cult classic for fans of the crime thriller genre.
