Review of Gun Shy (2017) by Criticalextra — 20 Jul 2018
Antonio Banderas is surprisingly amusing in this madcap, ludicrously stupid movie; so his performance is actually worth watching. There are some very funny/witty moments in this dangerously close to self-annihilation movie, although the direction needed to be much tighter and better use made of a capable cast that includes two beautiful stars showing even more promise, over and above this movie.
The thin line between the humourous and the boring is not properly envisaged by the direction and script, which despite some witty material, is lost, too often, in a sea of mediocrity. Pace and shadow are compromised resulting in a clunky passage.
Not a memorable movie, but with the extreme male beauty of the tall, dark and handsome - and charming - Ben Cura & and his rather miscast quarry, Olga Kurylenko, it is sometimes at least easy on the eye, despite its faultlines.
