Definitely doesn't deserve the low rating. Yeah, it's a silly movie, but that's what it's supposed to be, and some scenes had me laughing out loud. My wife just looked at me and wondered what my problem is then went off to bed, so she wasn't a fan. I can imagine the performers had quite a good time with it, especially Banderas. I've seen far worse comedies.

It made me laugh
A wonderful movie tailored for Antonio Banderas...
I hadn't even heard of this movie prior to coming to find it by sheer random luck. Well, that might be because I hardly keep up with the movies that Antonio Bandera makes. That being said, don't get me wrong, he does make the occasional good movie every now and again. So I decided to sit down and watch "Gun Shy".
And I am glad that I did, because this actually turned out to be a rather entertaining movie.
I will actually go as far as saying that this is one of the best movies that Antonio Bandera has made in a long time. It was really nice to see him in a movie such as this, because he seemed to fit into the character like a hand in a glove.
"Gun Shy" was driven by a good story and was filled with interesting characters. And they had a fairly good cast together here for bringing the various characters to life on the screen.
The movie definitely had an adequate amount of comedy and action, which made for a good cocktail.
"Gun Shy" is well-worth the time and effort. So if you haven't already seen it, do so if you get the chance.
Appallingly unfunny
GUN SHY is an appallingly unfunny British comedy, shot in Chile with ageing action star Antonio Banderas. It was made by Simon West, who did a much better job of the same year's STRATTON. The film takes the form of an extremely broad comedy, with Banderas apparently channelling Johnny Depp by playing an ageing rock star called into action when his wife is kidnapped while on a trip to Chile. Olga Kurylenko co-stars, and really must be having a word with her agent for landing her in films like this. Banderas staggers and saunters his way through the film and occasionally sings, but none of it is funny, just cringe-worthy. There's no action here, just silly, over-the-top and mannered acting and waste of time plotting. I hated every minute of it.
