I simply keep forwarding movie by every one minute and/or by 10 seconds chunk. This movie is s**t guys. Please don't waste your time.No story, try to keep suspense among three guys, how it would make sense. In simply one word - s*** movie

Very disappointing trip through rural West Virginia, that unfortunately leads nowhere. This got off to a promising start, with the accidental shooting of the girl, and the cash stash. William H. Macy's quirky lawyer character is another plus. From here on , "A Single Shot" is a real chore to sit through. At 116 minutes, the film seems way too long for the rather shallow material, and even though the set up was good, the follow through is muddled and lacks momentum. It's really a shame, because the cast gives effort, but everything is dragged down by the under developed script, and lackluster direction. My suggestion is go watch "A Simple Plan" again, rather than wasting time with "A Single Shot". - MERK

Sometimes when you take a chance on a movie that you stumble upon, you find a real gem. I knew nothing about this movie before I happened upon it at my local library, but I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad that I did. There are many good things to be found in this movie. As others here have pointed out, the movie is REALLY atmospheric - you can really feel the cold, damp, and extreme poverty the characters are living in. There are also some really good moments of suspense, like the scene taking place in the motel room. And the acting from all the players is very well done; you can really sense that their characters come from a world of desperation (of more than one kind.)Is there anything negative to say about this movie? Well, for me, I didn't find anything that I objected to. One thing that MIGHT bother some viewers is that the movie is somewhat slow; if you are looking for a slam-bang thriller, this is not the movie for you. But I was in a patient mood when I sat down to watch the movie, and the slow pace did not bother me at all. While the movie may be slow, it isn't boring. Just be sure you are in the appropriate mood when you sit down to watch this.

Review: It's amazing how an honest mistake can spiral out of control when you try and take matters into your own hands. That is definitely the case in this movie. When Sam Rockwell mistakingly kills a young girl whilst hunting deer in the woods, he decides to take matters into his own hands and ends up finding loads of cash were she is staying. From there, the whole story spirals out of control and the jobless recluse becomes hunted down by various criminals who want there money back. The storyline was well put together and the director really did think every aspect through. The obvious thing to do, if you shoot someone by mistake, is to go to the police straight away, but when you have some many things stacked up against you, like Sam Rockwell character, you tend to panic and do the first thing that comes to mind, even if you live to regret it. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie and I never lost interest because I wanted to see were the director was going to take the storyline. The acting was great, especially from Jeffrey Wright and the showdown at the end was well thought through. Enjoyable!Round-Up: Sam Rockwell is another one of those actors that gives his all, no matter what the budget or the size of the movie. After starring in big budget movies like Iron Man 2 and the Green Mile, and small movies like Moon and Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, he has become a bankable star but he doesn't let his fame go to his head. As for the other actors in the movie, they all put in believable performances but the film isn't one that you can watch time and time again. The pace was pretty slow which brings tension to the whole film but it does drag in parts. On the whole it's a watchable movie which is very well written but could have been shorter.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $20,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there intense drama/thriller movies about a hunter who kills a young woman by mistake and finds himself hunted by criminals. 5/10
