Toy Gun

With all the superficial garbage that is produced on low budgets, I thought this one knocked it out of the park. It kept me thoroughly entertained for 90+ minutes, it was simple but engaging, whimsical and lighthearted. If you're expecting the second coming of the Godfather on a Pirates of the Caribbean budget you've come to the wrong place, but if you want a fun little low budget gem then I'd HIGHLY recommend it.

There are a couple of things I'd change (Julian Sands has the acting range of a brick, and the music was meh) but I really enjoyed the interaction between Anthony LaPaglia and Luke Allen-Gale (who I'd never heard of or seen before), and the story kept me going.

Cute little film - nice work.

I watched this on amazon in the US, it was a really good film. A dark gangster comedy with a smart script, but what I really appreciated was that there was no nudity - most films like this just cater to men with guns, but this was fun from a women's perspective too.

This movie deserved a better budget. It has characters that are easy to get attached to and a story worth following to the very end. Filled with great actors with hints of sub-par acting, but it doesn't take away from the film. I think they could easily make a great sequel. Watch it

Tho not as slick as the likes of "Fargo", "Small Town Crime" or "Maggie Moore(s)", 2018 Euro dramedy "Toy Gun" does have a twisty plot involving amateur criminal incompetence, murder & a set of generally well portrayed quirky characters. When the bank managed by odious John Hannah is robbed for a third time, he (and detective Julian Sands (RIP)) suspect the estranged hubbie (Luke Allen-Gale) of his gf Hana Sofia Lopes... while in the shadows lurk mobsters like Anthony LaPaglia & Frederico Catelluccio. It's somewhat silly, but is told engagingly enough by co-writer (with Vince Villani) / director Marco Serafini. A decent addition this top genre.

Let me start with what is the best thing about this movie. The Ending. It's boring and flat. The story is so straight, without any suspense, although apparently that was intended. The actors some have accents some don't. Acting is mostly plain and expression less. Even if there are any emotions involved it appears robotic. Even the set looked cardboard thin.
