A Masterpiece!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If you consider a just a Oliver Platt's character the movie pay for itself,he is a odd and a interesting case for psycho analysis,trying raising tomatoes properly,Neeson is another case,he has fear....Bullock don't encrease nothing,neither in sex scenes, but in general way the movie get some funny moments and survive most of all for Platt's performance....and a lot of stupid gangster!!Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7

Eric Blakeney is a very talented writer/director. I love his movie Gun Shy, and its all star cast.The director really has a knack for comedy. I recently received another film directed by Eric Blakeney,Date For Hire, Blakeney's new laugh out loud DVD, hitting shelves later this summer. If you liked Gun Shy you'll be sure to love this film. Synopsis: To show his friends that he isn't the loser they have made him to be, Marcus bets them that he can get a date with the next girl that walks into the bar. But things don't go quite as planned when the girl puts a price tag on their night out. Now a simple bet has turned into an all night adventure, where money, stalkers, and craziness collide.

I can't recall how I heard of this movie, but having seen it once, I immediately bought the DVD. This is a fine oddball comedy, propelled by a script that doesn't waste a singled word and brilliant casting. Everyone is perfect in his or her role, from Liam Neeson as the undercover DEA agent who has lost his nerve, to Sandra Bullock as the love interest. Oliver Platt turns in a wonderful performance as the "Jeffrey Dahmer of Mafia hit men", and Richard Schiff is hilarious in his role as a overstressed member of Neeson's therapy group, who resorts to biting his hand to repress his anger impulses. Gun Shy is well balanced, well paced, and full of satisfying small surprises and twists -- especially the hilarious closing line of dialog. See it and enjoy.

So ban me from IMDb for spoiling about the true star. In the long run,this film will make it's way to the Top Comedy list, believe me. Well written, well acted, a bit slow in the editing. And the direction should have paced the scenes with more tempo. But generally one can say it's a true comedy film, not a movie. Either it was the recording or the mixing and maybe it's only the mastering - the ONLY negative is that it sounds lousy. Maybe it's just my DVD copy. The sound will never win an Oscar. But please ignore the comments and votes from the anally sensitive. This is a wonderful story and deserves to be seen and talked about.
