Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Martin Bradley Working in English writer Lars von Trier and director Thomas Vinterberg tackle American gun culture in a highly original and deeply disturbing fashion; it's the kind of satire I can't imagine an American film-maker making. It's about a group of young misfits in an American mining town who form a 'pacifist' gun club. The purpose? To love their guns, (Wendy is a pistol), but hate killing. When they allow a young gun-loving criminal into the group you might think things are going to go badly and they do, but not quite in the way you might expect.Young British actor Jamie Bell is excellent as the boy who founds the club and Danso Gordon is outstanding as the young criminal who, at first, challenges his authority but who turns out to be perhaps the most sensible member of this strange gang. Indeed, all the performances are excellent as is Anthony Dod Mantle's cinematography. The film itself came and went with almost no-one seeing it. Do yourself a favor and look this one up.

timber01 This was easily one of the worst movies I've ever had the misfortune of watching. The movie did have promise and could (should) have been much better but it just failed in every attempt. The acting was horrid, the story line was crap and it just dragged out forever (or so it felt). I know a lot of people will read this and automatically respond " well he just didn't get it"...no, I got it perfectly fine, but that doesn't change it into a good movie, in fact it just underlines how bad this movie is, that with so many ideals, points and views about guns and kids this movie just fails to deliver them in any type of way that makes it worth watching.

OJT Considered to be a fan of both Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier, I was very disappointed about this film. This simply do not function as a story, or as a kind of criticism of gun-affection. The idea might be good, but it's all going wrong quite early in the film. There's several things that goes wrong here, not making this the cult movie they obviously wanted to make. Only Jamie Bell does the film believable, the others are caricatured.   Bill Pullman is the worst. One obviously knows this will end in catastrophe, or - is it a kind of happy ending about miserable souls? The worst ting is that the film isn't even entertaining, but rather boringly told, especially when it comes to the storytelling voice of Dick. This rarely functions in a cinematic film, and absolutely do not function here either.   Tragic misuse of talented Jamie Bell, and a hopeless effort to make an American movie in Denmark with international cast. Get back to making films from your own country. We love those. Get well soon!   Save your time from watching this. It'll most certainly give you more thoughts about the writer and the director, than on the subject they want you to think about.

Igby Bundy once in a life time, a movie comes along that makes you sob so unevenly that you have a slight attack of asthma. this movie is not one of them. however, this movie has so many high points that i completely glad i did not break down because otherwise i wouldn't have seen its amazing conclusion i loved its self contained setting, its amazing soundtrack (provided by The Zombies), and most of all its amazing philosophy. i, too, am a pacifist and now i, too, really want a gun. i think that i would buy a German war pistol and i would name it Edgar. This movie was a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-awesome! I seriously recommend taking a short amount of time out of your day to watch it.
