Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ed-Shullivan Why do bogus filmmakers continue to attempt to emulate the brilliance of a Quentin Tarantino or a Guy Ritchie flick? Just by adding an endless stream of different characters and freeze framing their names like "The Cowboy", "The Chief", "The Rancher", "The Indian", "The Girl Next Door" and "The Blonde" as just a few examples is silly and boring and very much overdone. And I do mean overdone! There must have been 20 or more characters they introduced with the freeze frame title approach in an effort to make the plot more interesting and confusing. Sorry but I just found it boring and a poor copycat of both Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie's film technique. The plot is everyone and their brother are chasing Christian Slater who plays John Smith because they believe he stole a mask in the middle of a poker game which is a rare priceless Indian artifact.For these types of movies to really be effective they need to have a great story line, which this film does not come close to having. The film does have several Elvis impersonators including a gay Elvis played by Chris Kattan and a Midget Elvis played by Tony Cox. Oh yeah we even have an Elvis Elvis played by the Grade A actor Gary Oldman. I don't know why Mr Oldman would follow up his great performance in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with this copycat Elvis spoof. Helena Mattsson may have looked great in the black leather jumpsuit but her portrayal of a two gun toting Edgar Alan Poe quoting gunslinger for hire was also boring.Christian Slater plays the lead character John Smith, and he is also another one of the Elvis impersonators who everyone is after because they assume he has the stolen Indian mask. Slater narrates scene after scene trying to slowly feed us tidbits of a baseless plot. Yes, there is lots of shooting, stabbing, tomahawk throwing, punching and kicking, all in an effort to just pad the movies length.I should have known the movie would be below par when I read that Michael Winnick was the producer, writer and director for Guns Girls and Gambling. The only freeze frame title I was still looking forward to seeing after the first 30 minutes or so was "THE END".

threedlive Wrote a review on another site, More in reply to this supposed professional critic/reviewer that completely panned the movie. He claimed the comedy was too predictable, why would Gary Oldman do the movie--I think he would've done it for what I think is his best line--watch it and don't miss it--since telling Clarence "Must not be white-boy day" in True Romance. The comedy was predictable on purpose and by design, I believe. Nothing deep,but funny and quite tongue in cheek.Helena Mattson,s character is worth the price of admission!Christian slater is doing an Elvis impersonation again a la 3000 Miles from Graceland. and is working with Oldman again and The big red Caddy convertible is back as the classiest Elvis impersonator get-away car ever. And after True Romance came to mind, I do believe it just might be that same classy Caddy that Bama & Clarence and all that Mafia coke, head west in to seek their fame and fortune. I love when they kinda tie movies in like that!!I watched GGG three times the 1st setting. don't miss it.

travis12-611-474521 The title, which sounds like a prop list, should have clued me in that this effort would be about as original and inspired as butter on toast -- an infinitely shallow and stupid Tarantino pastiche cobbling together every trite and overdone Hollywood cliché of the last 20 years. I ejected it after about 30 minutes.The opening sequence is enough to tell you how bad this will get -- an Elvis impersonator (God, not again!) sitting at an isolated bus stop in... the American southwest (Gary Oldman). From out of nowhere, a hot babe assassin (not Uma Thurman this time) in stiletto heels appears miraculously, swaggers onto the bus and blasts away at Oldman with her stylish Gucci pistols. You can hear the director almost screaming, "Hey, I'm another Tarantino! Give me a chance!" Only he's not. The cast quickly overpopulates with a mind-numbing parade of cardboard cutouts, introduced with freeze frames and jittering titles: "The Girl Next Door." "Asian Elvis." "Midget Elvis." "The Cowboy." The usual spectacle of tired violence and mayhem ensues.This kind of cool campy violence has come under a lot of critcism after all the mass shootings recently. Cheap thrills, and morally obtuse, making this effort bad on another level.If Saturday Night Live had produced a satirical skit on how to produce a paint-by-number Hollywood film to entertain jaded morons, they couldn't have done a better job. than this turkey.

anthonybevilacqua77 This is the kind of cinematic experience where everything you need to know (not to mention everything you don't) is forcibly spoon fed to you exactly a million times over. What you see here is precisely what you get, and that list is as follows: Christian Slater as Christian Slater, endless clichés and plot holes, recycled characters and storytelling devices, shamefully shameless editing, racism, sexism, gratuitous violence, oh, and did I mention Gary Oldman as an Elvis Impersonator? This film is pretty much the bastard child of 3,000 Miles to Graceland and Smokin' Aces. Two films that were not all that original to begin with...but I love them anyway. And same goes (if only to a slightly lesser extent) for Guns, Girls and Gambling. So basically, I'm saying it works...just not very hard.
