Underrated gem!
By a customer from London , 03 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Written and directed by Usual Suspects scribe, Christopher McQuarrie, 'Way of the Gun' is a little known gem of the crime genre. Complex and intelligent, the films unflinching portrayl of its unsympathetic protagonists draws parrallels with 'The Wild Bunch. Del Toro is, as always, outstanding, and fellow cast members James Caan, Ryan Phillipe, et al, hold their own admirably in this hard hitting picture.- Was this review helpful to you?

(30)TOTAL TRIPE
By rendlesham (19 reviews) , 04 Jun 2012put together for money by people filling in their time until something better came along - featureless, banal, unoriginal - totally meaningless unless you were one of the 'stars' who got paid...tripe- Was this review helpful to you?

Oh Dear...
By a customer from OXON , 15 Mar 2012It's an OK film with a good twist at the end but blimey...! Every scene has a gunfight, which, amusingly given the title, I wasn't expecting at all. Devalues the story for me but it's otherwise well acted with a good plot- Was this review helpful to you?

Multi-layered or just a mess?
By Nitaray (222 reviews) from Farnham , 03 Feb 2012Very unsatisfying movie, over-complex and confusing with a final shootout reminiscent of 'Gunfight at the OK Corral'. With so much shooting going on, it's quite a feat to become bored, but I managed it without any difficulty whatsoever.
I felt the director lost control of the complexities of the story.
Some good acting though, which is how I came up with 3 stars.- Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaing watch
By a customer , 18 Sep 2011It wanders all over the place with some very funny scenes and very loud bullet noises, but peters out rather than comes together, losing the veiwers before the final shoot-out.
Worth the watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

Grossly underrated
By a customer from Sleaford , 29 Jan 2011This film probably has the best opening sequence of any film, I just love it. The storyline is great and the acting brilliant too. This film doesnt appear very popular but it should be, I thought it was excellent although not for all due to its violent nature!!- Was this review helpful to you?
