Something that needs to be clarified. "Killshot" is not a straight to video movie. It received a limited theatrical release in January.

Sounds like a movie worth trying. I hope it comes to Australia, but I doubt it. We could do with a few more pro-Second Amendment movies (if this is the case) from the U.S.

The movie itself is meh, a very poor man's Fargo, but the performances of Rourke and Gordon-Levitt make it worth a look. It went through post-production hell but I saw nothing here so promising as to make me believe it was something that much better even before Harvey Scissorhands went to work.

Mickey Rourke is one of the best actors of his generation; note the standing ovation by his peers when he won the BAFTA, Indie Spirit and Golden Globe Awards for The Wrestler. And note Sean Penn's comments during his acceptance of the Oscar.

Hard to say why some things happen. Equilibrium is a good example. Perfectly fine film, got an ultra-brief theatrical release with no promo a few years back, floppped, went to DVD, became a cult favorite. There's no real reason why it was dumped with no promotion, it just was. Behind-the-scenes studio politics, I guess.

This was originally a Diane Lane vehicle. The films troubled delays and release led the talented, beautiful and ultimately overlooked actress to quit showbusiness altogether. A shame!

I'm afraid this film was a victim of the ongoing meltdown of the Weinstein Co. that pretty much gave up actually releasing any movie that's not made by one of Harvey's inner circle of filmmakers (Tarantino, Kevin Smith) or could get Harvey any sort of award.
