Release
[edit]Reception
[edit]Kimber Myers from the Los Angeles Times called the film "a cheap Nevada Barr knockoff that lacks suspense, or a dusty paperback thriller you'd find at a rest stop."[1] Matthew Pejkovic writing for "Matt's Movie Reviews" gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, stating: "Featuring a dynamic central performance from Michael Jai White, Making a Killing is a true crime story that has the characters and plot that will suck you into its stranger than fiction tale."[2] Rich Cline from the "Shadows on the Wall" gave the movie 4 out of 5 stars and said: "Each of the characters bristles with life, making their conversations edgy and unpredictable. The actors have a great time playing with the detailed characterisations."[3]
