Review of Gun of the Black Sun (2011) by Gary T — 04 Apr 2013

The story's imaginative and well paced. The locations are amazing, as is the cinematography - doffing its hat to the likes of "Easy Rider", "Quadrophenia" and even "The Leather Boys" as it passes through some spectacular European backdrops.

The performances are stellar - not least the final performance by Richard Lynch before his untimely death earlier this year. Certainly a surprise to me, but ex-footballer Ian Wright's appearance is amazing - filling the screen with a presence that suggests that he's a veteran of such things. Elsewhere, the cast explores the remarkable plot-line supremely, holding one's attention despite the ferocious pace of the storyline.

To me, this film has all the qualities to ensure its success; the Nazi/Occult connection a quite unique slant that has rarely (if ever) been explored before.
