Fantastic!
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I hadn't even heard of this movie prior to coming to find it by sheer random luck. Well, that might be because I hardly keep up with the movies that Antonio Bandera makes. That being said, don't get me wrong, he does make the occasional good movie every now and again. So I decided to sit down and watch "Gun Shy".And I am glad that I did, because this actually turned out to be a rather entertaining movie.I will actually go as far as saying that this is one of the best movies that Antonio Bandera has made in a long time. It was really nice to see him in a movie such as this, because he seemed to fit into the character like a hand in a glove."Gun Shy" was driven by a good story and was filled with interesting characters. And they had a fairly good cast together here for bringing the various characters to life on the screen.The movie definitely had an adequate amount of comedy and action, which made for a good cocktail."Gun Shy" is well-worth the time and effort. So if you haven't already seen it, do so if you get the chance.
Has Antonio Banderas lost his mind? Or is he going through a mid life crisis? The movie is so stupid it's not even funny. What a waste of time. If they had added Benny Hill music I might have laughed. It's pathetic and because it is hopeless Netflix of course has added it to their ever increasing trash can of a library. Avoid it.
Don't watch this movie with any expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised! Antonio Banderas plays his part well!Be sure to watch all the way to the end, like past the credits, there is a fun part... Bandarass is for sure the star in this movie - the little boy could have used more of a part, I think if they had drawn his character out a little more it could have been a more slap stick kind of comedy.
I don't understand some of the negative reviews about this movie, and it's low rating is unfair. Antonio's choices of movie projects can be a bit hit and miss, but Gun Shy was a pretty funny movie. Don't expect it to be the best comedy, or anything great in cinema, that is not what this movie is about. It's an easy going hour and half of inoffensive fun. Gun Shy and it's cast and crew are not going to win any Oscars for this, but everything was done well enough to give the viewer a pleasant experience. It's not a deep thinker, and as such does not need to be over critiqued.At least a 7/10
