A Single Shot Reviews
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Sam Rockwell is one of Hollywood's most underrated actors and he shows why that's the case again in A Single Shot, a rural, neo-noir thriller that slowly pulls the viewer under its veil of mystery.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
There at the center of the film is Rockwell, as good an actor as there is working today.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
None of these characters, no matter how trashed-up for the down-market occasion, are believable.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
So heavy on atmosphere that it's hard to breathe, this derivative drama sleepwalks through familiar story lines despite the efforts of a first-rate cast.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
An odd mix of beautifully bleak atmosphere and hammily mannered performances, "A Single Shot" is simultaneously understated and overpowering.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
The film charts no new territory but is terrifically cast and, like its source novel, long on atmosphere.
AV Club
Scott MacDonald
It's largely just an opportunity for the actors to try on Ozark-y mannerisms, swig moonshine, and hock loogies. And like most exercises in authenticity, it couldn't be more inauthentic if it tried.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
A strong showcase for the talent involved.
Observer
Rex Reed
What passes for a plot has been done a thousand times before-in much better films than A Single Shot.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Sam Rockwell has quietly developed into one of the most essential actors of his generation. A Single Shot may not be his best film or even his best work but it's another accomplishment for one of our best performers.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
A Single Shot does not add up to anywhere near the sum of its parts, and as individually impressive as any of those parts might be (Rockwell), we are left with a film that, if not quite a Frankenstein's monster, is certainly patchworky.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
The back story disappoints less for its convoluted nature than for its failure to create a convincing set of motivations for its characters.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This often feels familiar, but it's refreshing to see such time-worn material revived without ironic detachment.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
David M. Rosenthal's sturdy, nasty rural noir, based on Matthew F. Jones's novel, is so sharp and rusted through that, after taking it in, you'll likely need a tetanus shot.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
A Single Shot aims to serve up gritty backwoods noir but misses its target by some distance.
Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Its protagonist hits an unplanned target, but this increasingly risible mishmash misses at almost every turn.
The Dissolve
Jen Chaney
Its ongoing reveal of interconnected, rough-edged characters, as well as a tone that's a twangy, noirish brew of the Coen brothers, Alfred Hitchcock, and Winter's Bone, are ultimately what make the movie unsettling and absorbing.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Its portrait of foolishness and fallibility, and its atmosphere of inevitable doom, remain sturdy and captivating.
Paste Magazine
Danny King
When the plot kicks in, and people actually start talking to each other, the film loses most of its momentum, but it still has enough sections of terse, pointed physicality that the overriding sensation of brute, blunt force rarely lets up.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
Hillbilly noir, great cast, dueling beards.
