What a beautiful movie!
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreMan, talk about a lot of emotional stuff going on! Wow! What with all of the child predators and related things in the news today, this movie, even though it was made 4 years ago, really hits home and hits in the gut. Sean Patrick Flannery does a fine job in portraying a cop who is torn between doing his job and letting a vigilante "finish the job" plus personal problems on top of that. A little bloody for me at times but a well done indie movie. It was good to see Mimi Rogers in such a powerful role. And glad to see Joey Lauren Adams on film again. She makes it believable that her character has to overcome past problems and current anti-female cop male officers in order to prove herself capable of doing her job.
... View MoreNot a true spoiler but does describe a scene late in the film.I registered for this service simply to express my amazement that films like this can find financing. The plot is clichéd and ridiculous (a cop with a murdered wife and new partner, battling a vigilante?), there are numerous repetitive scenes, the characters are unsubtly written and generally highly unbelievable, and to top it off there is a clumsily-delivered religious message. Poor Mimi Rogers.Are we expected to believe the scene in the parking garage with the vigilante scuffling down the side? The escape is so unlikely but that is conveniently ignored because the plot requires the vigilante to get away.Last, it is difficult to imagine anyone unironically enjoying the song "Goodnight Erin" that plays through the credits. Utterly uncomfortable to watch/listen to. For friends of the film-maker only.
... View MoreWhen comparing The Gunman to other Independent films, this one stands out as one of the best. Taking on tough themes like God, justice, and vigilantism is never easy and should be applauded when it is done in such an excellent fashion as writer/director Daniel Millican has accomplished. Mimi Rogers and Brian McNamara performances were quite good with a powerful monologue by Mimi at the end.A great film and a great story.I look forward to Daniel's next project.FZ
... View MoreLet me start of, by saying that this was not a bad movie. There's is enough going on to make you want to sit through it to the end. The movie also builds up quit nicely. Also the actors are adequate, not the best actors I've seen on screen, but certainly not the worst either. Mimi Rogers shows she can still act, especially in the final scene. Big emotions here, but played in a very genuine way. The one big flaw however is the movie's predictability. Already from about 1/4 in the movie on you can pretty much tell, what every character's role is in the plot. The movie would have worked much better as a thriller, when this would have been avoided.
