Good Guy with a Gun

Rarely do you comes across a film, whether an indie or something from a major studio, that achieves the lofty standards set by "Good Guy with a Gun". As an aficionado of film, it's easy to see that in today's film world, quality and originality has taken a beating. The opposite is true here, however. This film combines a magnificent script, uniformly outstanding acting from its large cast, expert direction, and stellar production values. Special shout-out to John LaFlamboy. His performance easily outshines supporting roles that have previously won Oscars. He's just terrific in his role as a detective. Furthermore, the issues addressed in this film are smart, necessary, and decidedly un-P. C., which is a welcome relief from vanilla, cookie-cutter offerings that are typical in today's movie landscape. There are messages subtle and extreme, and the actors convey the script's nuances with genuine aplomb. Bravo/brava to them all. Writer/director/producer/actor John Mossman has ascended to auteur status with this film, and if there aren't multiple "Best-of" awards in GGWAG's future, something is terribly, awfully wrong. This film is THAT good, and deserving of every syllable of praise from audiences across the world.

Good Guy With a Gun- where do I begin?

I'm not one to be interested in movies about guns, but BOY did GGWAG grab my attention. I wondered how the message on gun violence would be conveyed, and I will say, it was delivered tastefully.

The combination of horror, thriller, romance, and comedy all intertwined perfectly. The acting was phenomenal. Each actor embodied their characters flawlessly, leaving me interested in each and everyone's story.

I really have nothing bad to say about this movie. Hands down best movie I've seen in awhile. From start to finish, my eyes were glued to the TV. Check it out- it's worth it!

I was quickly drawn into the fast pace of the movie, its character development and compelling story. I enjoyed the realistic portrayal of Will and the evolution of his character as he grapples with grief and loss and acculturates to a new circle of friends at a galvanizing time of his life. I did not expect to relate to the characters at all but found myself surprisingly touched by several moments of tenderness and vulnerability. This movie does a good job depicting prevailing thoughts and ideologies surrounding gun culture and the hidden cliff of radicalization. The storyline and its breathtaking culmination will reverberate amongst all viewers.

This film was so well done and very entertaining. I really enjoyed the storyline, the cast and the relationships that were built throughout the film. I got to see it at the GTX FILM Festival in Georgetown, TX and it blew me away. I meet the director and a few of the cast. Such a professional and respectful group. Their passion for the film and their work was so inspiring. It made me appreciate the film even more. I can easily see this film building momentum and attracting a large following. It's that good. I highly recommend everyone check this one out. It's very much worth the time and the watch!!

This movie does an excellent job of dealing with a very controversial topic, examining the many facets of it and letting the audience decide where they stand on the issue. Filmed in a rural area definitely sets the tone for the action and anxiety to build throughout the film. The actors are well defined and filming itself is skillful. The blending with music definitely makes the scenes more powerful and believable. Very well written, acted and filmed. The actors do a marvelous job of not only defining the characters, but their interactions are brilliantly executed to make them real adding great emotion to the story. Great job Mossman and team.
