I hadn't even heard of this movie prior to coming to find it by sheer random luck. Well, that might be because I hardly keep up with the movies that Antonio Bandera makes. That being said, don't get me wrong, he does make the occasional good movie every now and again. So I decided to sit down and watch "Gun Shy".
And I am glad that I did, because this actually turned out to be a rather entertaining movie.
I will actually go as far as saying that this is one of the best movies that Antonio Bandera has made in a long time. It was really nice to see him in a movie such as this, because he seemed to fit into the character like a hand in a glove.
"Gun Shy" was driven by a good story and was filled with interesting characters. And they had a fairly good cast together here for bringing the various characters to life on the screen.
The movie definitely had an adequate amount of comedy and action, which made for a good cocktail.
"Gun Shy" is well-worth the time and effort. So if you haven't already seen it, do so if you get the chance.

They made the trailer look somewhat interesting and it got me curious so I took a chance not expecting much. Well, it was way worse than I thought. This is by far Antonio Banderas worst movie ever. The directing and location sets were the only salvageable parts of this disaster, everything else especially the acting and writing were garbage high-school drama class quality. Seems to me whoever produced this garbage needed a tax write- off, and they got it. It's a generous 2/10 from me
Daytime comedy funny and enjoyable movie
Don't keep your hops up so you won't be disappointed that's what I did and surprisingly was more than what I expected there was several funny scenes that i liked it wasn't that bad of a movie especially since 2017 the movie industry was so bad but this one better than a lot of others in my opinion

This film tells the story of a rock legend, who goes on a holiday to Chile with his wife. His wife gets kidnapped, and he has to pay one million dollars ransom. However, the US government stops him from paying the ransom, so he has to use other ways to try to save his wife.
"Gun Shy" is really so ridiculously bad! It knows that it is bad, and there is no attempt to hide how silly, contrived, clichéd or cheesy the story is. The story is so unrealistic that it becomes funny. For example, is the kidnapped victim really going to have a romantic talk on the beach with the kidnapper? The whole film is just so bad that it becomes funny, but hasn't made the elite group of films that is so bad that it becomes good yet.

I don't understand some of the negative reviews about this movie, and it's low rating is unfair. Antonio's choices of movie projects can be a bit hit and miss, but Gun Shy was a pretty funny movie. Don't expect it to be the best comedy, or anything great in cinema, that is not what this movie is about. It's an easy going hour and half of inoffensive fun. Gun Shy and it's cast and crew are not going to win any Oscars for this, but everything was done well enough to give the viewer a pleasant experience. It's not a deep thinker, and as such does not need to be over critiqued.
At least a 7/10
