Set against the backdrop of growing tensions between the I.R.A. & the British army, "Dead Shot" offers good performances in a well made thriller that takes no sides in this suspenseful 90 minute thriller from the writers & directors Charles Guard & Thomas Guard.

Típico thriller de accion y venganza ambientado en una gran bretaña de los 70 con terroristas y grupos paramilitares. Una historia simple pero funciona, sobre todo por su corta duración.

Perhaps one of the weakest an inaccurate films I've ever watched with regards to the era. The last shot was the best.

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's well-paced, very well-acted, and the story itself has a little more depth than just a straight action film because it has a personal edge to it.

Observer (UK)

The characters are underwritten and the performances underpowered.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

[The Guard brothers] bring alarming amounts of precision to a project that could easily have been bogged down in telly drama miserabilism.

Rated: 4/5

Dead Shot may have been a better movie if I knew more of the details and history. Instead, it is a movie that looks like a lot of action and ends up being all talk.

Rated: 2/4
