New Killshot Trailer!
Mon, January 12, 2009 
Despite boasting a cast that includes Diane Lane, Thomas Jane, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Mickey Rourke, John Madden's 'Killshot' has sat on the shelf for close to two and a half years. I suspect the sudden arrival of a new trailer is due in no small part to the fact Rourke is hot again on the back of his unanimously praised performance in Darren Arnorfsky's 'The Wrestler'. It is based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, previous books of his that have been adapted include 'Get Shorty' and 'Out of Sight'.
Synopsis:
A botched scam sends an old-school hitman (Rourke) and a young stick-up kid (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) on a mission to find and kill an innocent couple (Jane and Lane) in order to protect their identities.
The new trailer is more involved than the first and gives a better sense of the tone and especially of Levitt's character. I'm a big fan of this type of movie, and while it's nothing new, it does look stylishly made with an excellent cast.
The movie is set to begin a limited release on January 23rd, you can check out the trailer at the links below.
