A SINGLE SHOT is a cheap and digital thriller with a gloomy look. I was expecting a lot from it but it turns out to have very ordinary scripting and some depressingly bleak cinematography that makes the whole viewing experience rather worthless in my eyes. The suspense is barely existent and the entire cast unlikeable, which makes getting into the story a real problem. The presence of William H. Macy in the cast reveals they were hoping for a modern-day FARGO although the plot is more like A SIMPLE PLAN; sadly, this film is nowhere near the quality of either movie, despite the presence of acting dependables including Jeffrey Wright, Ted Levine, and Jason Isaacs.
