Watch Gunless For Free

Fresh and Exciting

Best movie ever!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The Montana Kid (Paul Gross) is a stinky gun toting American outlaw who objects to being called common. He arrives in the Dominion of Canada to find the townfolks annoyingly helpful. Jane Taylor (Sienna Guillory) is a self-assured pioneer and a widow after killing her no good husband. The blacksmith is a giant who keeps helping him despite being called out to a duel. Hopeless corporal JT Kent (Dustin Milligan) and his native guide N'Kwala (Graham Greene) come sniffing around. Then bounty hunters come into town looking for the Montana Kid.The central premise isn't funny by itself but that's all the movie is relying on. Paul Gross doesn't come off as a hardened killer. He doesn't have the swagger. There is a need for more and better jokes. This is still a watchable story with some interesting characters. It's just not that funny.

The husband and I don't agree on movies-- he likes westerns, for example, I generally don't, but last night we stumbled across 'Gunless' and watched it together. It's cute-- not laugh-out-loud funny every minute, but it had it's moments. The idea of a gunless/boozeless Canadian wild west town is sort of unique, and 'Gunless' made the most of it.The story line is fairly predictable, however the delivery is made fresh, probably because none of the actors were known to us, but they owned the parts. With the exception of a few curse words and bawdy references, the movie is generally mild in that respect (the outtakes, however, were much more raw... I would have skipped those).

Slight but cute enough film to make it worth an hour and a half on a slow night. Admirably deadpan throughout Paul Gross brings a Bruce Campbell like sensibility to his role of an outlaw in the wild west who finds himself accidentally in Canada. His reaction at the beginning to even being in Canada itself is almost worth catching the movie from the start just to see. I don't want to give away what plot there is to give away so i'll just say he clashes and then eventually warms to the local eccentrics in the little town he's crashing in with the exception of one very large man, one who gets off on the wrong foot with Gross from the get go.There was absolutely no one in the theater when i saw this (not that i expected a crowd) while it was nice to have the theater to myself, its the kind of film that benefits from having someone sitting with you to at least chuckle at the deadpan line readings because its just the kind of film that was meant to be shared with others rather then taking in by yourself. One conversation in particular with the local townspeople goes in a couple of different directions ("a gun is just a tool, like a shovel. i would never be scared that someone's gonna rob me with a shovel.") i could imagine a couple of other people chuckling at some of it and i honestly think that had there been other people around for me to share this with i might have actually enjoyed it more which is an odd thing to say about a movie but there you have it.While the movie isn't a fantastic masterpiece--its perfectly pleasant to take in and just hang out with. Its a hang out kind of movie.

Talk about a basket full of interesting characters! I would insist that this film be re-made by a major studio to improve the production values but they would spoil it. Look away from that and you see a charming little film with a believable story and a great script. I would have given it a 10 except for some of the words/phrases were not nineteenth century appropriate and it was just too short! More like a yarn than a film but I enjoyed every bit of it! And they say that I need to write more lines so I will tell you more. Lots of it was period appropriate I guess, and I did find the "philosophy" class to be most interesting. I especially appreciated the character of Jack, like Shawn's mirror, and his desire to just be normal that adds to it. The Chinese folks were portrayed without stereotyping which is good also.
