Die in a Gunfight

This movie tries hard to be a mix of a Tarantino / Guy Richie / Wes Anderson type of vibe.

It fails dismally. Lazy & unimaginative writing, uninteresting characters, poor acting, inconsistent plot.

Overall, you'll have to force yourself to see it through to the end. Don't bother.

They should have included a booklet about the movie and bonus lsd tabs in the physical case. That could have been a good Special Edition!

Some movies are cool. Some movies are quirky. The biggest problem with this movie is that it tries too hard to be both of those things. The story is a modern day Romeo and Juliet, not done nearly as well as Baz Luhrmann's amazing rendition. The attempt to frame shots and scenes in a way that shares the hipness with the audience just falls flat here. Alexandra Daddario is always good and this one is no exception; however, her performance is not enough to save this one. There are some fun scenes. The movie is disappointing but not the worst. I think the failure is not in the script and performances, but in the Direction and Cinematography.

Looks to be a modern take on Romeo and Juliet? With a typical "hello fellow teens" cool guy main character that is essentially what a 15 year old would imagine a 27 year old bad boy to be. He smokes cigarettes and gets his ass beat for fun woah bro he doesn't even give a crap! Ok... Every time I thought a scene would actually flip into an action sequence with some actual fighting, guns, etc, It didn't. It was pretty much just a corny edgy drama the first 45 minutes or so with an unoriginal story.

Diego Boneta gives the worst performance in a film in many a long year.
