Gun Shy (2017)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Ok so I quite like B movies and movies done on tight budgets. But boy this is really bad. The script is poor, acting worse still, set pieces... grim. It plays out just like a very cheap cable TV movie or high school play. Definitely the worst movie I have seen in a very long time. I hadnt realised just how bad Antonio is at acting. Seems like many his skills came from the skills of the editor in his previous films if this is anything to go by.

Not sure why so many have slated this film, I enjoyed it. It's not the funniest or cleverest film ever, but it did make me laugh. I loved that the film and Antonio Banderas didn't take themselves seriously and seemed to have had a great time making it. No llamas or dolphins were hurt in the film and the hunters got theirs! A fun light hearted movie that will entertain.

Fun fact is that give or take a few days I am the same age as Banderas.I know exactly what it means to be dragged off on holiday to someplace where its cold in July when all I want is to stay in my chair. I love my chair. When you are a has been or in my case a never been, these things are important.Anyway back to the film. I loved it.Firstly - it is very funny, was very clever and the cast clearly loved making it. Simon West has a real way with actors and always gets the best out of them.Secondly - it does not take itself too seriously. If I got conned into seeing yet another star trek or star wars or harry potter film where the actors earnestly deliver their lines with all the pomposity of a ham reciting a scene out of Macbeth, I swear my sternum is going to leap out of my back and gorge my eyes out.Thirdly - this is going to be a cult film. Do yourself a favour, watch it a few times with that in mind, and in a few years time you can say - yeah - course it got panned at the time but I knew it was going to be a cult film...So 10/10 - not because its a perfect film, but because its good despite the handicaps that a director has in making such a film. No one could have done better.

Antonio Banderas is terribly miscast as an aging British rocker, who had a part time accent. While vacationing in Chile, his wife Sheila (Olga Kurylenko) is kidnapped by a group of fishermen looking to get some money for their poor village. The million dollar ransom is not the issue if they can get the inept US government representatives from interfering.Banderas plays for a group called "Metal Assassins" with their hit song "Teenage A** Patrol." They didn't even try to make it sound good. The film had some funny moments, but was mostly smile funny with overused beer humor.Guide: Brief swearing and nudity. Sex talk.
