Killshot (Showtime Extreme) - This had a really good cast - Diane Lane,

Heck, even Hal Holbrook appears! Also, so does Canuck Tom McCamus!
(Mason Eckhart from "Mutant X"!!).
   Too bad I thought the movie was perfunctory, breaking absolutely no
new ground. It might have something to do with the fact that this is
based on an Elmore Leonard novel, and I am not a fan of Leonard's works.

I've read some of his novels (there are hundreds; he was prolific) and
like the humor in a lot of them. The adaptation that best captures his
black humor was the tv series Maximum Bob. I didn't read this one.

I have seen the movie and agree with you that it's relentlessly
mediocre, waste of a good cast.
