it's a nice movie

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.

Antonio Banderas, Olga Kurylenko and Mark Valley play in this movie based on a book. It is supposed to be a comedy with some social commentary, only it is not funny and most of the time it is offensive to every group it depicts. Antonio Banderas does well, but the role is so much beneath him that I wonder how this movie was even made. And who writes books that are this bad?! Bottom line: I skipped large portions of it and it was still boring. The jokes were lame, the acting stupid, the story horrendous. This film has nothing redeeming about it, except maybe Olga's cuteness, even it not being enough to save this piece of crap.
