Amazon.com:
The big selling point for The Way of the Gun is the fact that it was written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the guy who wrote The Usual Suspects. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe star as two low-rent criminals who fall into a plan to kidnap a surrogate mother (Juliette Lewis) who is carrying a baby for a very wealthy couple. The duo are immediately in over their heads, and their kidnapping plot brings to light the dark and hidden tendrils of the old man's family structure. It also brings on lots of gunfights and lots of blood. McQuarrie creates some good action sequences (particularly the slow-moving car "chase" through the alleys), but that only serves to emphasize the one major weakness of the film: the script. Though it's chock full of macho declarations, shootouts, and "surprise" revelations, the core story is ultra-predictable. That wouldn't be so bad if there were any characters to care about, but only a supporting performance from James Caan elicits any kind of sympathy. This is merely a movie based on violent movies, with no additional commentary. Then again, McQuarrie does do a nice job with much of the action. Though nowhere near as good as The Usual Suspects, particularly in its story, The Way of the Gun is a promising debut for McQuarrie as a director. --Andy Spletzer

This movie is for the typical "shoot 'em up" fans out there. I'm not going to spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it. If you like Benecio Del Toro in one of his better roles, watch this movie. Nice story, action, and screenplay. Sarah Silverman plays as a guest role (hilarious scene).

Very good. This is a "DARK COMIDY" you will be quoting lines from for years to come. The cast Benicio del Toro, Ryan Philppe, James Cann, and Jennifer Lewis work well togeather; like a well oiled machine. The opening sceen in the parking lot of a bar, with a loud mouthed girl, and her reluctant boy friend is histerical. There is also a sceen in a spurm bank that is equily as funny. If you enjoy comidys on the dark side, with a touch of violence, this is the movie for you.

The Bottom Line:
The Way of the Gun does so many interesting things that it's almost worth recommending, but it also has so many flaws--including but not limited to poor pacing and occasionally convoluted plotting--that it remains more of an interesting failure than an accomplished film; you're better off renting than buying.

Product just as described... a secret that no one should be deprived of seeing at least once!

The man who wrote "The Usual Suspects" would be expected to deliver well, and he did. This is a terrific, tense and blazing film. The acting is strong and the script a harse, tense ride. This is a great movie & superb entertainment.
