One of my all time favorites.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
A Masterpiece!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Long before Oliver Stone's 'Natural Born Killers', 'Guncrazy" explored the emotions of two young people caught up in a whirlpool of sex and violence they were hard-pressed to control.Joe Dellasandro was in Andy Warhol's 'Dracula' and was physically attractive at that time. "Time wounds all heels!". Two bullets take care of him.It's one of the few films that features Billy Drago where he's depicted as a "nice person". He's one of my favorite villains! Check out his filmography.If you like 'Guncrazy', you will probably also like 'Badlands', an early Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates crime drama.Enjoy!
We all heard about the infamous duo of Bonnie and Clyde, in this movie Gun Crazy, the couple are a bunch of wannabes. Anita(Drew Barrymore) is a high school student who likes sex and guns. During a school assignment, she looks up in the paper ads, she contacts a a young man in prison. He is getting paroled, and he likes art. Anita lives in a trailer out in nowhere, where she does shooting practice with her steep-father who would rape her. So one day, she gets herself a gun and kills him while he's watching TV. The boyfriend, Howard(James Le Gros) and her get together, and the downward spiral begins. He kills the two young men who had sex with Anita, they robbed, tried to find the mother, and no luck. The duo tried their best to survive. Unlike Bonnie and Clyde, there was only one survivor, Anita. How's that? Unbelievable! This movie was rather cheap, tawdry, and nearly unpredictable. It needed a lot of improving, and more character to the story. I wanted more. 1.5 out of 5 stars!
For me,'92-'93 were the best years of Drew's career.In her tumultuous and infamously scandalous adolescence, Mrs. Barrymore was already a very funny and nice actress, and impressively attractive. So,she had several leading rolesand sometimes only supporting partsin a series of very humble movies from the beginnings of the '90s. Some of these movies I enjoyed very much. They were made in a period that coincided with the rather brief revival of the American B movies in the early '90srevival and flourishing that benefited from the screen abilities of persons like Drew, Tweed, E. Roberts, etc.. For a brief period, the B cinema in America seemed to set itself up for something. Needless to say that Drew looked very wella fleshy girl with big jugs and more to show. Extremely sexy and arousing in a unpretentious way. On the other hand, it was easily, immediately noticeable that Drew was, as a young actress, very competent. She was always more than a body on display. The films she made offered her charms fully, used her judiciously, and this was a fine thing.Some of her early films (well, early is relative if we speak about Drew, being given her extremely precocious screen debut) established her as a sex starlet. Those are, in fact, the Drew movies I have liked the most. On the other hand, these were roles of bad girls. But in other movies she was required to make nicer roles, more goodnatured, if one can use such a term.Drew brought a note of simplicity, charm, sincerity and naturalness that is delightful. I mean, of course, that roles that needed such a thing. Her part in Guncrazy (1992) needed these nice qualities.I guess it was not a single trace of style or of art in those early Drew films from the '90sbut this is not the point. They were but patchwork, yet . It was plenty of Drewand this is something I could fully appreciate. Her screen presence was one of the most enjoyable. She also had some kind of natural ability to display in those roles of nippy, nimble bad girls and nymphs. In Guncrazy (1992) we find some nodding acquaintances from the early '90s B cinema: people like Ironside, here as a noisome cop. Guncrazy (1992) is interesting because it seems made by its very protagonists.Drew's adolescent body and physical allure offered a spicy contrast between her homely plenteous shapes and some kind of paprika eroticism she was so good at displaying. This gave the piddling movies a certain pleasant picturesqueness.
OK anyway Drew and James are two people in love right? So what really confuses me is at the end of the movie when they are in their hideout and the cops arrive James (Howard) is shot in the face then gets shot in the chest plenty of times then he falls down the steps and dies Drew (Anita) just runs down the steps and crys a cop helps her up (her friends dad) and walks her outside then I hear her say "He made me do it" I was like "What?" I know she made a promise she would say that but if that was me and I was in love with someone that cute I would have shot myself on the spot I wouldn't have sat there and wasted time crying I wouldve shot myself knowing I could never live without him and thats what love is right? So this point in the movie really made me cry my eyes out seeing a really hot guy die and his lover says "He made me do it". This movie is a tear jerker. I would rate it *** out of *****.
