Came across this little gem and felt like I had to say something! This movie is really unique, and ways in on many important themes, including race, racism, and self-reliance, aside from being a really fun thriller! Great acting all around, and kudos to the leads. Also wonderful seeing Christopher Lloyd again. Definitely check it out!

In an era flooded with half-baked scripts and cringe-worthy fake movie cash grabs, Guns and Moses is an absolute sigh of relief. It's smart, bold, and genuinely entertaining from start to finish - a rare gem that reminds you why you fell in love with movies in the first place.
The film manages to balance razor-sharp humor, gripping momentum, and surprising emotional depth without missing a beat. It never talks down to the audience, never coasts on cheap gags, and never forgets to have fun. Every moment feels intentional, every performance pitch-perfect, and the writing is as sharp as anything out there.
With so many films trying (and failing) to capture lightning in a bottle, Guns and Moses actually pulls it off - and makes it look easy. Don't miss it.

This film is a nice benefit that when you are challenged by evil forces that you don't know or understand sometimes you need to prepare yourself. Cast is A quality. Writing could have done more but I enjoyed it. Although the who done it and why was brilliantly kept you on your toes. The tactical fight at the end could have been streamlined but all in all well done.
Guns & Moses delivers something I've been craving for a long time: a Jewish action hero who isn't a punchline or a historical victim, but a full-on badass. It's unapologetically modern, sharp, and proudly rooted in culture.
The writing is smart, the action is fun, and the lead character brings a refreshing new face to the hero archetype. There's something incredibly powerful about seeing a Jewish protagonist take center stage, not in a story about suffering, but one about strength, defiance, and wit.
If you're looking for a film that flips expectations and carves out a new space for Jewish representation in genre cinema, Guns & Moses is it.

Well written and a much needed eye opener. A Rabbi realizes his community is under attach and does what he can to protect his family and community while being mindful of others. While some would take the backseat, this Rabbi and community look over the headlights, strategize and plan ahead in this thriller...well thought-out, casted and directed. Must see...
