Very disappointed :(

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

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

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The Montana Kid (Paul Gross) is a stinky gun toting American outlaw who objects to being called common. He arrives in the Dominion of Canada to find the townfolks annoyingly helpful. Jane Taylor (Sienna Guillory) is a self-assured pioneer and a widow after killing her no good husband. The blacksmith is a giant who keeps helping him despite being called out to a duel. Hopeless corporal JT Kent (Dustin Milligan) and his native guide N'Kwala (Graham Greene) come sniffing around. Then bounty hunters come into town looking for the Montana Kid.The central premise isn't funny by itself but that's all the movie is relying on. Paul Gross doesn't come off as a hardened killer. He doesn't have the swagger. There is a need for more and better jokes. This is still a watchable story with some interesting characters. It's just not that funny.

As a Canadian, I have to say that I'd like nothing better than to see somebody make a really good Canadian movie someday. In the entire history of the motion picture industry, Canada has only made a couple of movies that stand up as world class. We just do not seem to have the wherewithal to make movies like other non-American countries do---Australia, for example, which has made many great features over the years. So with "Gunless" here we go again. How can one possibly come up with enough adjectives to adequately describe what a totally lame, pathetic, useless waste of time this movie is? It's just embarrassing to think that this is all our Canadian movie industry can come up with. You have to start with the script, which could never have been accepted for production anywhere else but Canada. Our country seems to be so desperate to come up with movies that the Canadian government helps to fund this trash. Two thumbs down for this turkey---it's as lame and pathetic as you can get. Paul Gross is a joke, and so is everyone else in the cast. About the only thing that is good is the background scenery, which is the one thing you can't go wrong with up here in Canada. In every other respect "Gunless" SUCKS!!

This is what I call a great Beans and Cornbread movie. Like comfort food, you cannot help but be in a good mood when you partake! Funny and just sweet enough without putting you in sugar shock, this film is the best understated and clean comedy done in the last few years. The characters do not become "caricatures", but instead likable, mostly realistic people that could be related to anyone of us. Sorry to disappoint those who think comedy has to revolve around sexual innuendo, nudity, and raw humor, because refreshingly, Gunless doesn't go there. It fits a PG-13 rating due to brief language. Its quirky nature keeps it funny and engaging when it could otherwise have been over-the-top melodramatic, stupid, or just plane predictable. Watch it for a good mood and plenty of laughs.

Slight but cute enough film to make it worth an hour and a half on a slow night. Admirably deadpan throughout Paul Gross brings a Bruce Campbell like sensibility to his role of an outlaw in the wild west who finds himself accidentally in Canada. His reaction at the beginning to even being in Canada itself is almost worth catching the movie from the start just to see. I don't want to give away what plot there is to give away so i'll just say he clashes and then eventually warms to the local eccentrics in the little town he's crashing in with the exception of one very large man, one who gets off on the wrong foot with Gross from the get go.There was absolutely no one in the theater when i saw this (not that i expected a crowd) while it was nice to have the theater to myself, its the kind of film that benefits from having someone sitting with you to at least chuckle at the deadpan line readings because its just the kind of film that was meant to be shared with others rather then taking in by yourself. One conversation in particular with the local townspeople goes in a couple of different directions ("a gun is just a tool, like a shovel. i would never be scared that someone's gonna rob me with a shovel.") i could imagine a couple of other people chuckling at some of it and i honestly think that had there been other people around for me to share this with i might have actually enjoyed it more which is an odd thing to say about a movie but there you have it.While the movie isn't a fantastic masterpiece--its perfectly pleasant to take in and just hang out with. Its a hang out kind of movie.
