Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

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.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Gunless is an excellent Canadian film about the Montana Kid, the fastest gunslinger in the West.....I mean north....I mean Canada? Gunless is a fantastic movie about a man called the Montana Kid who goes north to escape dangers, but by no means was he running.This is a pretty good Western with a bit of love thrown in. I am a macho guy type, and found this movie fantastic. The main male and female leads worked well and throughout the movie, you want everything to work out and for them to be together. But did they? Did he live or lie? I has a very good script and just fun all around movie. I am fully in support of this excellent movie and it is something you can watch with your wife or girlfriend and kids.Excellent movie, TEN OUT OF 10!

Gunless (2010): Dir: William Phillips / Cast: Paul Gross, Sienna Guillory, Dustin Milligan, Tyler Mane, Callum Keith Rennie: Hilarious Canadian western comedy about forgiveness. It stars Paul Gross as the Montana Kid who ends up in a small Canadian town after narrowly avoiding death in the United States. He is overwhelmed at the lifestyle and behaviour in opposite to his quick drawing pistol brandishing methods of solving problems. Directed by William Phillips exposing western clichés but not without many very funny moments. Gross is excellent as a man out of his element and on the run in hopes that time would be on his side. We know that his past will catch up with him and that he will have to face his enemies. He will also have to realize that pulling the trigger isn't always the best way to solve problems. Sienna Guillory plays a woman whose windmill needs fixing and Gross reluctantly assists. This is an opposites attract relationship that works on sheer humour due to his simplicity and her methods of exploiting his nature. Dustin Milligan brings humour to a standard but amusing role of Corporal Kent. He will become the bunt of sight jokes due to his pride and authority. Tyler Mane plays Jack who is challenged to a gun fight. He is innocent and is the target of Gross's arrogant nature but his way of solving this conflict is one of the film's best laughs. Callum Keith Rennie plays a bounty hunter but the role is not that interesting. While it is not quite True Grit, it certainly can play a double billing alongside it. Its humour is in tact but its message of forgiveness pulls the trigger. Score: 8 / 10

The ethical clash of the old Law of the West and the new Rule of Law, explored by John Ford in the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has an up-beat sequel in Gunless. In the sequel, the gunslinger is not shot with the rifle of the friend of the harmless lawyer ... he is saved from being shot by the rifle of harmless man he has sworn to kill from the forces of Law and Order. Law and Order is represented by the merciless bounty hunter who can tell if someone is telling the truth just by looking at them crooked. In Gunless, the gunslinger lives long enough to regret his killings and to reform his own character. The climax is the gunslinger's recollection of his killings and how each killing was required to maintain the self-image resulting from his first killing. Then with just a touch of the Rashomon effect, he admits he never even had justification for his first killing. Add a dash of Aristotle to suggest what character is and how it can be changed ... has any other movie been able to pull that off? The result is neither drama nor comedy but something more like a morality play. Not since Groundhog Day have I seen a movie with so many levels of meaning, and not since Galaxy Quest have I seen a movie with more satisfying ending.

With the dearth of any, let alone decent westerns nowadays, this movie was a breath of fresh air. In the vein of the classic Briscoe County, it was a treat to watch. Acting was as well done if not better than the junk Hollywood offers. (Yes, Lower Case!) Obviously I enjoy westerns, and most of the recent movies guised as westerns have not made the grade. I will certainly watch this one again as well as recommend it. Oops, I see I need to write more... I guess simple and succinct doesn't rate. So, sorry, here are a few more lines. Nice to see it was based in Canada - clean skies and a lot of green... duh, am I done yet??? Let's see.Thank you.
