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

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
