Review
Guns and Talks follows a team of four skilled hitmen who will assasinate anyone for money. However, these are not your normal hitmen. They actually wouldn't kill anyone without a contract, and still ponder why people would ever want someone to be killed.
Guns and Talks is in best form at the beginning and the end. This is when the group is setting up and assasinating their targets. The beautiful camera shots and excellent background music help make these scenes quite entertaining. There are also a few parts which are pretty funny; mostly arising from the fact that they are "nice" hitmen who happen to get into awkward situations, like falling in love with the person they are under contract to assasinate and having to come up with excuses of why they are really there.
When Guns and Talks' plot gets to the middle, it becomes more "talks" and less "guns," and unfortunately this affects the pacing and fun. It starts to focus on the feelings they get for their victims, and characters are introduced that feel like a waste by the end. These problems don't ruin the film, but it is certainly less enjoyable than watching the team in action.
If Guns and Talks would have done some things differently, namely keep the fun up during the middle of the movie, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more. As it stands, it's a decent movie with some fun to be had.
Overall:  Ryan Frost, 2005 |
