I honestly would have never watched this movie based on the ratings but since I am a big Olga Kurylenko fan I had the ''duty'' to give it a try. Honestly coming from such low expectations Gun Shy wasn't bad. It is not the funniest or smartest movie, but I have to at least give the movie some credit because everyone seems to only see its flaws. There are ridiculous moments, but at least the movie is self-aware and doesn't try to be anything that is not. I even enjoyed the main character played by Banderas, I honestly thought he was gonna be a stereotypical douche bag ,but it wasn't the case. Maybe if this movie came 15 years ago it would have been received better. There are much worse comedies with higher ratings out there for sure.
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.
Reading the summary and seeing the reviews, I didn't think this movie would be great. I checked it out simply because Antonio Banderas has done some really great work in the past. I understand that his movies aren't all outstanding but I figured he could carry it if he had to...I was mistaken. This movie was just plain bad. From the plot being laughably thin, the acting completely lacking, the ridiculous stereotypes and last (but certainly not least) the awful singing from Banderas, this movie was just one long cringe. I am not usually this harsh on most of my reviews but this one definitely deserves the rating I gave it.
