Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: I probably could've done a better job of selling you on The Way of the Gun :(

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]As pointed out above, I don't know much about you. That wasn't going to stop me from finding you the perfect movie. Here's what I had to go on: 1. You use words like "sitrep" and "recon" in casual conversation, 2. You harbour some resentment towards women, for a variety of reasons you would be happy to expound upon, and 3. You enjoy the working man's pizza, Domino's. Allow me to address these points, in order: 1. The Way of the Gun was written and directed by former private investigator and police academy washout Christopher McQuarrie. The technical consultant was his brother, a Navy SEAL. Together, they crafted the most realistic gunfight movie ever made. ("Realistic" in this case meaning "doctrinally sound", not "remotely believable" - that is to say, they filmed the embarassing fantasies of a responsible gun owner, eliding over the details of how and why truckloads of faceless mafia goons are storming the brothel he's visiting, while simultaneously lavishing fetishistic attention on what kind of safety protocols he's observing with his Colt Series 70. There is a scene featuring a bounding overwatch that is both hilarious and awesome.) 2. The opening scene ends with Sarah Silverman getting slugged in the mouth. According to the credits on IMDb, her character was named <b>Raving Bitch</b>. The most fleshed-out female character is essentially a briefcase for a very expensive baby. At one point, it looks like they're going to have to cut the baby out of her... and they do! I think they should have named it "L'il MacGuffin". 3. No pizza, sorry. There are a couple of beers. Still, two out of three ain't bad![/quote]
