The Way of the Gun (2000)

This film had a lot of great stuff to look for, but unfortunately, it lulled in spots, which is a downer for a type of Tarantino Resovoir Dogs type of flick. Writer and first time director Chris McQuarie has a lot of good things here, but he might want to consider a little editing though. There are, believe it or not, some not needed scenes here (maybe so, maybe not). But, lukcily, some of them are overshadowed by a better than average script and very credible actors: Ryan Phillipe and Benicio Del Torro make a good duo, Juliette Lewis is slutty yet charming in a pregnant role and most notably in one of his best roles, James Caan as a aging hitman who will get villain fans cheering. Exceptional action ending and it's actors almost make up for some boring points in this film and it is worth a look whether it is likeable or not. B+
