Gun Shy - Tuesday Night Snack Flik

Gun Shy

MPAA: Rated R for violence, language and some brief nudity.

Sex/Nudity – Some statues of naked women come alive and become painted naked women (this is in a hallucination caused by pain and fear). You see them from the front for a few seconds, then from the back for a few more seconds. Neeson’s bare bottom is shown in one or two scenes as he goes to see a doctor. There is some kissing as well, but no sex.

Language/Profanity – the “F” word is used quite a bit 20 to 30 times or so. The other profanities are scattered around in there too.

Violence - Pretty mild. There are a few gun battles, but very little blood. A body gard gets shot in the groin area while using the urinal. There are a few bloody wounds during the gun fights but nothing major.

Starring Liam Neeson, Oliver Platt, and Sandra Bullock

A fun, witty, almost goofy movie about a DEA Agent (Liam Neeson) whose recent scrape with death leaves him afraid to do his.

There is not too much to say on this film besides just that, it was fun. If you are looking for a deep film with a lot of plot twists then this is not one to pick out. However if you are looking to watch a fun little pop-corn flick with a little romance and some interesting characters then this is a good one to snag.

Liam Neeson is not the hard core action man you see in Taken, he is instead a calm and collected undercover agent who seems to have a knack for talking to people and relating to them. He is mild mannered on the job, but when he is alone he is almost overpowered by fear. He goes to daily therapy sessions with other middle aged men dealing with dissatisfaction on the job.



Oliver Platt is an eccentric leg breaker for the Local Mafia. He is also dissatisfied with his job, and along with that his marriage. The two form an unlikely bond as they deal with their problems.

The movie moves along at a decent pace, the action is not very good, and the profanity is a little over the top. What was well done is the interaction between the characters. Bullock and Neeson seem like an unlikely couple, but their scenes together are cute. She is in the film for almost 15 minutes though so fans of her may be disappointed.

Overall Gun Shy is a simple move, nothing in it is great, but it is a fun little movie to “snack” on!
