This movie has so much potential, yet more horrible acting by Juliette Lewis helps ruin yet another movie. Del Toro and Phillipe played their asses off in this movie, and even Sarah Silverman who has a short but hillarious role in... Full review

The reason I liked this film was because of the performances. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe work well together. James Caan always shines in his roles, and this one is no exception. The story, however, is a bit dull and... Full review

He's the hero, and easily one of the film's most sympathetic characters.....the pile-up of twists and turns and shifting motives isn't pretty.... ... Full Review

And, yes: This all sounds like the set-up to a perfectly good crime thriller.
The action in The Way of the Gun is great and exciting, but it's also real; McQuarrie choreographed all the gunfights with his brother, a Navy SEAL, and there are a couple moments here that take simple Hollywood action cliches -- diving for cover, the high-speed chase -- and spin them on their head with brute, brisk authority.

The arty crime film to end all arty crime films, The Way Of The Gun boasts numerous queasy fascinations, including a couple of impressively gruesome action sequences and the unlikely team of Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro as existentialist hoodlums who like to discuss the existence of God in between torturing and shooting people.
