Leave your thoughts about Shoot on Sight.
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghIt's earnest, well-intentioned and scrupulously even-handed, in the style of made-for-TV problem movies. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe movie's lack of subtlety is countered by an unswerving commitment to impartiality. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekThe taut, ultimately explosive drama shows most of its dramatic cards too early, but it boasts two memorable performances. |
| New York PostLou LumenickStarts out as a thriller inspired by that city's 2005 Tube and bus bombings but gets bogged down in a family soap opera. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleShoot on Sight has good intentions but winds up a thematically simplistic, dryly plotted and perfunctorily shot melodrama, one of those movies where dialogue is there to categorize people, not parse the complexities of human beings. |
| VarietyAlissa SimonA disappointingly stilted melodrama masquerading as a political thriller. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyTakes its title from a real standing police order issued after the attacks and, seemingly, its inspiration from both nighttime soaps like EastEnders and the PBS Mystery! series. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerMovies that pressure audiences into such extreme moral choices veer too close for comfort away from drama and towards their own set of ideological imperatives, in the service of propaganda. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisAs if only made for ignoramuses who get nervous around brown skin, nearly everything on-screen is condescendingly telegraphed--from its plodding dialogue jammed with black-or-white morals to its lingering reaction shots, one-dimensional racists and radicals, obvious mood music, and thriller clichés. |
| User ReviewDorwin DA nice movie again following the same pattern as of KKL, clearly drawing the line between diverse classes that exists among Muslims as today .. also highlighting how youths are brainwashed for terrorisi activities and finally blowing outh the most blunt question of this decade, All Muslims are not terrorist but why all terrorists are Muslims ?? |
