Script review - "One Shot" by Chris McQuarrie

I actually like this more than the film - even though the film is basically the script. Maybe I needed to see it on the big screen. It's an excellent tough noir, with solid plotting, well spaced out. Maybe the characterisations lack spark - the woman is feisty, the young girl hot, the DA tough. The Zec and Reacher are good characters though.

It's extremely well written. I feel that if this had been made on a smaller budget with a different star people would be hailing it as a minor neo noir classic.
