Critic's review of Gun Shy
View all (1)
- A farce in which the humour depends upon inverting stereotypical characterisations of Colombian cocaine dealers, gangsters and tough agents; its tone is too genial to encompass its occasional lurches into violence.

  Bullock is charming but can not save a movie that does not know whether it is a wacky comedy fantasy or aiming for gravitas or desiring to be a romance. Neeson... read more »

  This is a horrible film! What possessed a good cast of actors (Bullock, Neeson and Platt) to make this movie? The only saving grace is Platt. Neeson looks ... read more »
