dirtypool40 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 figured to enjoy a quick 90 minute vacation into action land, and the title lead me to believe it might be action-y and tough guy. This is THE single most ANTI-GUN, gun movie I've EVER seen. Spoiler is, the slimy anti-gun senator (crusader) needs blood he's harvesting from some illegal baby farm. Ok, icky enough. The Evil gun company (thinly veiled Para) pays the bad guy to kill all the mothers and babies so the anti-gun guy will die too. So then they offer him his life in return for "preserving our rights" and yes, it was said with a sneer. Turns out our hero sold the guns that killed his family. No seriously, it was that bad. Don't give them a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbadaboom Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) The line, "So people can go hunting with Uzi's?" Was actually used by the "Hero" in this total piece of crap movie. This thing was written by the Brady bunch. Edited September 11, 2007 by Bigbadaboom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I wish I could get a refund on my tickets to that one. I agree it really sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm glad I'm not the only one that had that reaction. Until the whole anti thing unfolded itself in the 3rd act, I was having fun with a movie of mindless violence and total cheese one liners - that was the whole impetus for seeing it. I felt like getting up and leaving once the true purpose of the movie became apparent. My wife, God bless her, doesn't think there was an anti-gun message in the movie at all....

SiG Lady Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 DISGUSTING...! It's stuff like this that keeps the "anti-" issues all too alive and well. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNK Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) The film is too muddled to be an anti-gun treatise. Granted, it uses the language of gun politics to create a plot device that is summed up nicely above, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would come away from the movie persuaded that more gun control is necessary. Besides, why are gun politics or the people who inhabit them above parody? Public discourse is fair game for satire, and satire, however crude, is what we have here. The ridiculous slogans or sound jabs that pass for debate on guns are given a good slap here. Everyone comes off sounding dumb, clumsy, and sanctimonious. Gee, haven't I just described American politics circa 2007? FWIW, religion, especially my religion, took a good beating too with all the nun/whore business, which is simply absurd or some type of cheap psycho-analytical reasoning. It also occurred to me that feminism is surely dead in the water for no one to be lamenting the depiction of women in the film. Exploitation does no one any favors except for the schlockmeisters that crank it out. Seeing it is something to do why I eat my popcorn.

shadetree Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I saw the ads on tv and thought to myself (another lousy wast of my time, Just some lazzy hollywood nut burger trying to liberate me from my hard earned cash.)

Jman Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Saw the preview before Transformers last month. Took an immediate pass when I saw the "moon roof" scene. Just to goofy. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardball Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I still won't admit to being DP's date to that movie. Geeze, take a guy do Fudruckers and he pays you back I guess...... Yes, I do agree, the movie sucked. As Larry T. Cableguy would say, "What the hell is this? Russia? I was more frustrated than Janet Reno trying to get Melissa Ethridge concert tickets." Anywho, sorry to out ya DP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prreed10 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks for the heads up. I am always looking for a good gunflick, but this one looked questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) I think I may actually be dumber for having watched this movie. That is 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. Edited January 7, 2008 by North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You can almost here them laughing in the background that they suckered so many pro-gun folks into watching this movie! Sorry for your losses and thanks for the heads up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Bell Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think I may actually be dumber for having watched this movie.That is 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. +1 on that The only redeeming value was Monica Bellucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingchange Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 This movie had a plot?? I spent a dollar to rent it out of Redbox and LOLed several times, so it was worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It was too ridiculous to take seriously. I wish we had that much money in the gun industry to have dozens of assassins for hire on staff and manipulate elected officials. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
