Review of Street Gun

Street Gun (1996)
2/10
Street Gun - More Like Gutter Gun
26 August 2020
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)
