The New York Times

It’s easy to see what scared Weinstein executives off. “Killshot” is a tough, uncompromising picture that has much more in common with the no-hope noirs of the ’40s and ’50s than with the test-marketed pap no one is ashamed to release today.

The Book: Killshot

Carmen saw the scam. And now she and Wayne, her ironworker husband, have to pay. Because Blackbird kills smart and deadly. Richie kills stupid and crazy. Both are out to erase any living evidence—and when these lethal partners take up the chase, a safe place from killing is awfully hard to find.
