Sam Rockwell (currently seen onscreen in The Way, Way Back) and William H. Macy star in the film adaptation of Matthew F. Jones’ book A Single Shot. Jones adapted his own book for the screen, and David M. Rosenthal directed the gritty thriller, which will be available On Demand on August 20th followed by a theatrical release on September 20th.
In addition to Rockwell and Macy, the cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Jason Isaacs, and Kelly Reilly.
The Plot:
David M. Rosenthal’s white-knuckle thriller starts with a bang: a single shot, aimed at a lone deer, that hits and kills a young woman. The hunter, John Moon (Rockwell), watches her die before discovering a box of money near her body. In a desperate panic, he takes the cash — hiring a low-rent lawyer (Macy) to fight his wife’s (Reilly) divorce suit — and attempts to cover up the killing. But when he discovers that the money belonged to a group of hardened criminals, the hunter becomes the hunted in this tense cat-and-mouse struggle in the backwoods of West Virginia.
