Noel Murray The Dissolve The movie as a whole is hamfistedly whimsical and poetic, but Walken and Kidder are fascinating to watch. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 28, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com The major problem with Shoot the Sun Down isn't that it's saying something we've already heard, but that it's just not saying much at all.
