Street Gun

First off, I just want to say that this movie was excellent, given its low budget, and unknown actors. If you enjoy movies like Boondock Saints, Amongst Friends, you will like this film. The director, Travis Milloy, did such a wonderful job with the action sequences, as well as shooting on location all around Minnesota. Justin Pagel(the main character), just looked the part of a tough criminal who always got the job done, no matter what task he was assigned. Complete with trench coat, some basic hand-to-hand combat skills, ponytail, and a stainless 9mm Beretta, Joe Webster kept you on the edge of your seat.

As much as I enjoy the movie, it does have its share of flaws. The acting isn't really all that great, but the story, the action, and the ending(one of the craziest, unexpected endings I've ever seen!!!!!) really make this movie a pleasure to check out. Street Gun is the 'shiznit'!

This came as a double sided disc with something else I wanted - but I sure could have done with not having it in my head. This super-cheap movie is super cheap in all departments, a wanna-be crime caper in the style all other wanna-be crime movies tend to go for. Every character is super nasty, not one even partly likable personality here. It plays like a grotty backyard movie made by someone who's watched one too many Italian westerns, along with gangster obsessed Scorsese, etc, pics. It also looks like all the movie makers like minded, gangster lovin' friends, have gathered around to share their 'big' time bad-ass movie dreams.

The result is a poor copy of other shows that were more popular than they deserved to be. A mean spirited, swear-fest nasty, that outstays it's welcome and deserves to be forgotten as fast as possible. Cinematographer Joel King has been around movie making long enough to pick-up a few good ideas but the bad editing robs most of his reasonable work of any real impact. The easily pleased movie geeks will last the distance but many others will blast it out of all memory (if they are foolish enough to let it get in there)

I felt compelled to give some feedback on this movie that I rented from Blockbuster. This movie has it all - comedy, drama, crime, suspense and "realism".

This movie also had a lot of action with just the right amount of humor! I will definitely watch it again! There were some funny parts as well as action-packed drama. I enjoy movies that keep you wondering what's going to happen next.

The writer/director, Travis Milloy, should make more movies!!! In my overall opinion, this movie was great! I'm looking forward to his next one! Travis Milloy has real talent as a writer and director.

I caught this film late at night on HBO. Talk about wooden acting, unbelievable plot, et al. Very little going in its favor. Skip it.

You can tell that this is the first offering by the Director (who also wrote it), but you can also see the potential this guy has. This is an obviously low budget film in the spirit of Boondock Saints. Of course, Boondock Saints came out a few years after this, so you could look at this as a diamond in need of some polish. The acting was good - if you're looking for DeNiro or Michael Madsen in a crime drama, remember that these are young guys, playing young guys trying to be criminals. They're not going to be "supercool" (tm) like some of the veterans. I would have love to have seen Justin Pagel (Joe - the main character) go on to make more movies - he was great in this. Good movie - 3 stars out of 5.
