chinaguy123 Not 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.
mc_schultz i saw it at the video store and thought the idea was cool, but . . . . despite the cool idea, the movie was terrible.there are so many holes in the story, but since i can't remember the characters names, i will not take the time and effort to say much. just a couple of points:1) why does the vigilante wear goggles and a mask in the comfort of the high-tech vigilante spy room? 2) why does the molester cop fight with his molester brother if they are in cahoots. 3) why is the molester cop a molester? this is never explained. 4) are parents and babysitters really that oblivious to molesters walking around in the middle of the play in plain sight and right in front of them? 5) how does the vigilante get all of these cameras all over the place?and many more, but since the movie was so bad, i don't feel like spending more time and effort in complaining. just enough to vent for the anger of wasting $1.00 at the video store.one more thing, the sound track suxs too. i almost hit the mute button.mcs
filmzealot When 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
[email protected] Let 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.
