The biggest problem for Gun Shy isn’t its ridiculous premise or its frequently silly tone; it’s that it doesn’t fully commit to either. Read full review

Gun Shy is a loud bang signifying nothing, a tired and second-rate actioner — and an embarrassing resume entry for the likes of Antonio Banderas (“Desperado,” “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”) and Olga Kurylenko (“Oblivion,” “Quantum of Solace”). Read full review

Gun Shy is the sort of leaden misfire in which actors labor mightily to transform themselves into cartoon caricatures in a desperate (and largely unsuccessful) attempt to make viewers think, despite all evidence to the contrary, they are watching a comedy. Read full review

Gun Shy is an action-comedy starring Antonio Banderas that is lacking only action, comedy and a performance by Antonio Banderas that is anything other than a complete embarrassment. Read full review

A giant thud of a film that makes one doubt the fact that West ever directed a proper Hollywood movie. Read full review

Antonio Banderas is surprisingly amusing in this madcap, ludicrously stupid movie; so his performance is actually worth watching.

There are some very funny/witty moments in this dangerously close to self-annihilation movie, although the direction needed to be much tighter and better use made of a capable cast that includes two beautiful stars showing even more promise, over and above this movie. The thin line between the humourous and the boring is not properly envisaged by the direction and script, which despite some witty material, is lost, too often, in a sea of mediocrity. Pace and shadow are compromised resulting in a clunky passage. Not a memorable movie, but with the extreme male beauty of the tall, dark and handsome - and charming - Ben Cura & and his rather miscast quarry, Olga Kurylenko, it is sometimes at least easy on the eye, despite its faultlines.… Expand
