Shooters

This movie was very strange in some ways, but generally pretty good. The relationship between J and Gilly (and the things Gilly seemed to allow) was quite believable. Dunbar was quite chilling (he's almost always good). Prepare to shake your head at some of the more extreme directing choices but pay attention to the performances for some small, but key players: Jamie Sweeney as J's kid brother, Gerard Butler as a psycho bad guy (his first) and Melanie Lynskey as J's wife are all among the best things in the movie. It is well worth watching if you enjoy the British style of violence and humor from such movies as The Krays or Snatch.

Shooters is a dark and depressing movie that follows a group of Gun running gangsters who have no regard for life or themselves. To compare this to any top british gangster movies is an insult because this cannot compare. This lacks any humour or a character that you would give a monkey's about which makes it hard to like. Also the main character is Welsh and is about as scary as Bob the Builder . Have you ever seen a scary welsh Gangster?. The story does have a cute twist in the end which makes it bearable but apart from that there is nothing to shout about. 6 out of 10.

A Brittish gangster movie. The actors chew scenery and the

amazing locations help the mood achieve the tone it hopes for. Its

a dark and dreary tale told with a kinetic sense of energy. Despite

the lacking budget you feel like this is actually happening. Its

probably the performances that truly hold it together. Great small

role by Gerard Butler as the f**ing nuts supplier. Dempsey is

great as well and he plays the role as if its not even acting. Its just

Dempsey playing Dempsey.

Anyway. The film follows a man recently out of jail who gets back

in with his shady friends. his friend j immediately gets him

involved in a guns deal and as expected nothing is as it seems.

The movie is great and it just does well at what you expect. Well

made and likable characters. 7/10

I saw SHOOTERS at my local video store and saw a comment along the lines of, "comparable to Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels". Well, I can now say that it is not. Though, I did find it to be a very interesting movie overall. A very different taste and nothing like Lock, Stock.

I think this movie is good but, it is kinda crappy at the same time. Perhaps it is the low budgets that makes the "finish" of the movie seem cheap. The actors are great, but the story never reaches higher than average. But the ride is still enjoyable to a degree. See it if u like english movies, like snatch and lock, stock ...
