3/4

Wyle is so good as he goes through the stages of pain, rage, remorse and resignation that he keeps you caring and alert.

2nd Amendment advocates arming themselves against a Hollywood screed will be relieved that the film avoids political activism to focus on trauma and recovery.

Shot certainly has a message, and implies villainy in the universe, but its story is about innocents.

... it's an effective film with plenty of talent behind and in front of the camera.

...engrossing and sympathetically realized. However, Shot needed to embrace the gun control pulpit more fully than only scratching its surface and playing it sentimentally safe.

Using acute, penetrating realism, a career-best performance from Wyle, air-tight writing incorporating pressing themes, and an unpredictable ending that will leave you speechless, Shot overwhelmingly succeeds as a film and a statement about our culture.

Written and directed by Jeremy Kagan, it is the powerful story of Wyle's character being accidentally shot by Lendeborg's character. Leal plays Wyle estranged wife. The first 1/2 of the movie is a disturbing but involving view of Wyle's treatment in the ER along with occasional split screen views of Lendeborg trying to cover up his crime. Wyle's portrayal is particularly powerful as he struggles to recover from his injuries. Leal gives good support and Lendeborg is believable as the troubled, tortured teenage shooter who is devasted by his mistake. The ending is a bit rushed (and could have been better) but I would still recommend you find this one.

Shot is a boring drama filmed in a weird way that looks more like a soap opera than a movie. It's trying to deliver an important message but doesn't have the right ingredients to help it achieve that. Not worth watching.

The new-in-theaters drama Shot starring Noah Wyle and Sharon Leal may look like a very special episode of a TV drama but it's a very effective very special episode of a TV drama. This anti-gun message movie, which does also play like an 87-minute public service announcement at times, nevertheless does have a valuable message. The shooting style may not blow you away but the performances are solid and the message is potent. https://geeks.media/movie-review-shot?_ga=2.155045112.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710
