killshot

killshot is an elmore leonard based plot---- i always like those books, those movies. those stories. mickey rourke and his low life buddy terrorize a house wife and her ironworker husband. even after having been put into a witness protection program, they are not safe, and have to protect themselves. it's a good film. someone close to me once said the thing about elmore leonard is that he seems to create characters that are unique---- people who take offense at slights, who take revenge, who live according to their own set of rules, yet seem to be small time criminals, mixing it up with mafia hitmen---- and when some of them meet their violent end, you almost feel a sense of relief---- they are scum, and can't keep their mouth shut. yet there is a freedom in their conversations, a three dimensional aspect to their characters.
