Fails On Almost Every Level
I just watched Gutshot StraightThis was a bad one Steven Seagal
I have to give credit to George Eads, who at least makes for a watchable lead. AnnaLynn McCord is fine as a powerful mans wife, who offers Eads $50,000 to sleep with her!! I don’t think it’s spoiler territory to reveal he said no!! Seagal is Paulie Trunks (great name) a Las Vegas mobster (at least I think he was a mobster) and is nothing more than a cameo. Vinnie Jones isn’t given much to do either.
To be honest nothing noteworthy happens and I mentally checked out (within half an hour) and started looking at things on my phone.
It fails at being a crime drama and a dark comedy (if that is even what it was aiming for) the dialogue is weak and the plot thin.
Keith Waggoner’s music saves this film
I came across this film unintended. Saw the name Seagal and thought OK, another B- Action movie… exactly what I wanted to see. But it said Thriller.. so I watched with interest… the opening credit went on with some pleasant music but I didn’t realize then… the film did not develop as I hoped, no violence explosion, no hard shooting etc.. no running LOL… actually, now for me *SPOILER ALERTS!!!* this is a Drama /Existentialism (I always label films with 2 categories). This is by no means a Film Noir like some here on the board try to say. That is an insult to all the great films of the 40ties and early fifties… but alas, so many here have no clue about it and write stupid comments. Here we have no tension, we have no suspense and bleak outlook, that only can be done with good actors committing themselves and a good script. Here we have lame acting at best, and a director who wants to be more than he can achieve. Anyway... so about 30 min. into the film, I was already a little less interested, Duffy proposed Jack to fu*k his girl (May), that was the moment I said to myself Stop… what is this? Made no sense to what I was expecting from the movie.. but anyway, I was emotionally maybe a little opener that usually (because of personal reasons)… so as Jack was hit, fell in the pool.. woke up … and then, looked at May, asking her if these were his cloth…… ever from the first second where the music came back in, when Jack was talking to May, the two tones from the song “The Spider” give an introduction, more noticeable than in the beginning of the film… same song, but at first watching, this was not clear to me. The talk, the story, was weird, but this music kept me captive… I stopped actually the film and googled the soundtrack, none available.. it is the only essential music in this film. astonishing… and a real discovery. love it, even the entry lyrics are intriguing…
“I must confess, I’ve done you wrong, and now you’re tangled in the web of my song… ”
exactly what i was… falling in the web of this song. GREAT!!!
the song is available on Youtube, either film clip or video clip.
The ending of the video clip with the vampire kiss is not necessary, because the retro look was cool enough.. (Greta didn’t even have the heavy red lips as expected, she looks gorgeous). Sometimes newbies want to add too much things together which do not fit. That is maybe the border between amateurish/mechanical and real talent.
The film has real flaws and weaknesses, others here have commented on that, so I refrain. But: We look movies for many reasons… this one is slightly below average but will stay in my memory because I discovered a great song.. and besides Films (DVD, MP4), I collect music… so thank you Keith Waggoner for that great song… One song is enough to make me happy and don’t feel I had wasted time on the movie… :). Will even revisit the film, even though I have the lead song in my iTunes database… and listen to it a lot. 5/10
