One of my all time favorites.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I haven't seen this film since it was in the theaters, but I remember at the time thinking it was one of the best films I'd ever seen. I always get a kick out of things filmed in my area, too, and Rt 3 in NJ was involved. Will look for the DVD soon so I can share it with friends. It was never in wide release and it was frustrating at the time that I couldn't find anyone to rave about it with. Now I'm going to see if this filmmaker ever pumped out another one...I spoke about it yesterday with a friend after we went to see "You Kill Me," with Ben Kingsley...it had a similar quirky feel and without knowing anything about it in advance, I surmised that it was directed either by the same person who'd done My New Gun OR Red Rock West. Turns out the latter was true. What 's also amazing is that now that I look fresh at the credits for My New Gun, I'm amazed to see that Philip Seymour Hoffman was in it (I thought my intro to him was Boogie Nights), and Diane Lane.

One of the weirdest comedies I've seen yet. I didn't think it was funny or even particularly interesting, and at times it played much like a drama. The acting was fine, I merely feel the writer was smoking banana peels during the project's creation.

Everything in this movie seems to me to have evolved rather than being contrived as is so often the case in American comedies. The characters are all credible, and some are refreshingly likeable while the "bad" guys get what they deserve, but only that rather than the overkill typical of moralistic movies. Stacey Cochrane's debut as writer/director.

I really liked the movie "My New Gun." It is very original, funny, suspenseful, and crazy all at the same time. The characters are all portrayed wonderfully, but in my mind the best performance was by Tess Harper, who played Kimmy Hayes. Ms. Harper was the perfect actress for the role, and she made all of the pieces fit together. This is one of my favorite movies.
