Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

etnier I couldn't finish this. Watching Coburn playing a Vermont millworker with his expensive pouffy hairdo and immaculate fresh-out-of-the-box work clothes was hard enough. He wasn't that great of an actor in the best of settings: this movie is too earnest and dullwitted to help him along. The scene where Virginia Masden dies was the breaking point: so badly handled I felt timewarped back to a 1980's made-for-TV special.The film was mawkish and dumb from the git-go: a problem with a lot of 'independent' cinema that no one seems willing to face up to and tackle. If you liked this movie, check out "Lustre". You'll love it.Just because a movie is set in Vermont and deals with moving issues doesn't make it any good. Sheesh.

KMeister1 I tried to watch "American Gun" while reading the paper on a Sunday afternoon but soon found myself reading less and watching more. It's a fascinating story about Martin Tillman (played by James Coburn in his last film), an elderly man dealing with the shooting death of his daughter by embarking on a journey to trace the history of the gun used to kill her.Every performance is solid: Virginia Madsen, playing the daughter, Barbara Bain (remember her in the "Mission Impossible" TV show?) as Tillman's wife, Alexandra Holden as their wayward granddaughter...but it's Coburn's movie, to be sure, and he quietly dominates the film even during moments in which he is silent."American Gun" isn't a preachy movie about gun ownership in America at all. It's an intelligent film about the odyssey of a man reflecting on--actually haunted by--his own past as he travels across the country in his obsession to know the history of the gun for reasons that are not completely revealed until the very end of the film--in a surprise twist I'm sure nobody saw coming.Sit down and watch "American Gun" from start to finish. And forget about trying to read the paper, knit, wash the dishes or whatever while it's on. Just be engrossed by talented film-making featuring a talented cast and director anchored by well-written script.

kelly i think this is one of the best films i've seen in ages, with one huge twist that makes you go "my gosh i didn't see that coming". all actors were fantastic and portrayed their troubled characters well. a very good job at casting. the director did a fantastic job. and i'm very pleased with the film i saw, i think maybe some of the film could have been better explained but i think we should leave it as it is. as a great unknown classic, not known by the world, enjoy this film if you see it, not many people know its out there. i'll leave it at that but do try and watch it is good

mdesantis I had never heard of this movie but caught it On Demand on cable. The late James Coburn was absolutely brilliant in this film. I am sure this may not be an NRA favorite, but you cannot watch this film without feeling how much impact and how much of a scar a few seconds of human error can cause when a trigger is pulled. The "message" of this film is as loud and clear as the retort of a gunshot. This is truly a powerful film, yet it was made in such a seemingly understated way.The entire "journey" that Martin Tillman(Coburn) makes in this film completely absorbed me right through to him staring into the camera at the end of the film. If you ever get the chance to see this film, do it. Don't expect to feel good when it is over, but do expect to think about it for a while.I don't think I will ever forget Coburn's response when asked if he believed in God and he says, " I believe in God, but I'm just not sure what to make of him." There are plenty of other moments in this little film that have stuck with me long after I watched it. That happened to me with a another little film called "Tender Mercies" with Robert Duval made quite a few years ago. Both films do a tremendous job showing the human struggle to overcome tragedy with dignity and perseverance.
