Good Guy with a Gun

Writer/director John Mossman turns in a tense thriller with his latest film, Good Guy With A Gun, which explores the cultural divide between urban and small town America, particularly in regard to gun culture. A city kid visiting a small town with his mom to settle the estate of his recently deceased grandfather gets involved in the local gun culture, and trouble ensues. Visually appealing and well written with several plot twists that I did not see coming (the best kind of plot twists), Good Guy With A Gun takes you on an emotional rollercoaster as it builds to its climax. Good Guy With A Gun has done well at international film festivals, and it's easy to see why.

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!

John Mossman and his creative team have made a contemporary - destined to be a classic - film noir. The film's exploration of the darker aspects of gun violence and responsible gun ownership - within the contexts of a single parent household, coming of age lead actor, sexuality, high school buddies, peer pressure, and small town values - it serves as a poignant commentary on the complexities and contradictions of American society today. The cast is wonderful and they all have done excellent performances. The Actor Dan Waller was incredible in his role as Duke. I have to say Waller is cut from the same cloth as Christopher Walken. Enjoy!

This is a brilliant award-winning 2023 rural noir thriller and a must-see important conversation piece. Bravo to John Mossman on his masterpiece and bravo to the entire cast and crew! Outstanding in every aspect: stellar storytelling, filmmaking, acting, writing, directing, producing, and just all-around a fantastic film that I cannot wait to see again. I had the great honor and pleasure of seeing the premiere and have not stopped thinking about it since. Hopefully it will be generally released soon. The world wants and needs this film, and I want to see it again! Ten stars is not even enough.

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.
