Guns & Moses

After a member of his temple is murdered, a Rabbi is the only one who does not believe it is motivated by hate. While he leads his community through turbulent times and the family through their grief, he conducts his own investigation, becoming more than just a Rabbi.

This movie is far-fetched but entertaining. The story is similar to other murder investigation story arcs, with some hot topics mixed in, such as anti-Semitism, renewable energy, and the environment. Overall, the story is not overly predictable, which keeps it interesting. The action is suitable for a movie that didn't require it, but it's far-fetched. The one-hour and thirty-four-minute runtime is the perfect amount of time needed for the Rabbi to close this case. Definitely a unique and short watch with a bit of everything mixed in.

This movie underscores how awful most current hollywood films are. Witty and funny script, well developed secondary characters, strong female characters. Suspenseful and never drags. You do not have to be jewish to enjoy this movie at all--it's really about universal themes like protecting your family, the inportance of conmunity, and the possibility of redemption.

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.

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.

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.
