Run & Gun

The story is not particularly strong, there is a lot that I wish was explained better, and the movie all-around feels like there are some scenes that are missing, although I wouldn't be able to tell you what would happen in them.

However, this is a fun movie. It is the perfect amount of goofy to go with the action, the acting is well done I thought, and the action itself isn't half bad.

There is something missing, maybe a plotline or something that would make it feel more complete, but overall that feeling of something left out kinda makes me jones for a sequel. Also, the movie has some hint of reality in the form the action takes, and it could be the director's choice to not allow the audience to know everything and that missing information is what feels like a gap.

I had a lot of fun watching it, I will likely watch it again and I will recommend it to friends. I have never left a review on here before but saw a user who gave it 1/10 stars and felt like that was so unjust that I had to leave my uneducated consumer opinion.

Would not call it B movie gold but give it a shot there are much worse big studio films. Some of the story is cliche however their few unique character development moments that would be fun to watch in a limited series. Bumped it a star for the cowboy bebop reference!

Criminal operator Ray (Ben Milliken) barely escapes with his life. He's hiding from a crime lord. He tries to go straight with an insurance job, his girlfriend, and her son. Grayson (Richard Kind) discovers his secret and blackmails him into one last job. It goes badly and he encounters Billings (Brad William Henke).

This is a small Australian crime thriller comedy. Ben Milliken is not quite leading man material but that's fine. Indies have limitations. The story is pretty basic except for the Mandela effect. That's a fun twist. My one big issue is that Ray should be smarter. He's set up as a superior street-smart criminal. When the tire gets slashed, he should know right away that someone is coming after the package. He can't waste time changing the tire. He needs to run and hide. He's also a little slow in a few other times. It's annoying when a smart character isn't quite so smart. The writing also has a few hiccups. A lot of this needs to be a bit smarter.

The ray, or run and gun was a fun and watchable movie. It might not have been overly great, but there were certain things that made it good. The strongest part of this film to me is certainly the cast as each give their own and through the seriousness there is also fun with their characters to be had. Ray was in prison but he reformed and has a good job, now with a girlfriend and child. But he gets a chance to make it big with one more job and so he does it and gets in with bad people. Richard kinds character having a deep conversation with Ray about the Mandela effect was one of the funniest things and I liked it for that. Overall it's a decent action film that was made well.

After leaving a life of crime and violence, Ray is a reformed good guy, enjoying a quiet family life in the 'burbs. But when his past is discovered, Ray is blackmailed into one last job to collect a mysterious package. After a deadly double-cross, he finds himself wounded and on the run from ruthless assassins who will stop at nothing to get what he has. Now, with the lives of his loved ones hanging in the balance and danger at every turn, Ray's only hope is to draw upon his violent past to survive.

Good, very good, fun, with that touch of acidic humor that we love, ironic and sensitive at the same time... With convincing performances and an engaging narrative, the smart guy being made of cake and the fool being smart, good twists, great ending, adorable...
