The Weinstein Company recently released this movie poster featuring Mickey Rourke as Armand “The Blackbird” Degas from the upcoming film “Killshot” by director John Madden and starring Diane Lane (Nights in Rodanthe, Jumper), Mickey Rourke (Sin City 2), Thomas Jane (Give ’em Hell, Malone) and Rosario Dawson as Donna.
Synopsis: Prime Suspect 4 and Inspector Morse director John Madden comes back to the world of crime after a brief foray into romance with Shakespeare in Love and Captain Corelli’s Mandolin with this adaptation of pulp icon Elmore Leonard’s novel concerning a real estate agent and her husband (Thomas Jane) who become the targets of two relentless mafia hitmen. When real estate agent Carmen Colson (Diane Lane) catches a glimpse of a hitman named the Blackbird (Mickey Rourke) as he carries out a job, a subsequent request for her to testify against the aging gun for hire soon lands both Carmen and her husband, Wayne (Thomas Jane), in the Witness Protection Program. Blackbird isn’t a man who likes to leave loose ends when it comes to his work, though, and now as the seasoned assassin and his psychotic partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) attempt to catch the couple in their crosshairs, Carmen and Wayne are going to need much more than a few federal agents to make it out of increasingly deadly situation alive. – Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
