Mean Guns Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Steineded How sad is this?
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
benmckenna-1 OK let me start by saying I was after this movie for about 5 years before I finally got the chance to get it on Blu-ray of all things. this movie sounded remarkable, good cheesy cast, awesome idea & just overall testosterone filled mayhem.I was wrong.first off its not terrible (bar the acting, screenplay & style) its b movie goodness. it falls flat for one gigantic reason.there isn't a spec of blood at all!!!! I'm not lying out of all the characters one person is seen with a proper wound and I was worried cause I thought someone had actually shot her.now i'm not saying you need violence to make a film good... but in a film where its 100 assassins locked in a prison with the aim to kill each other, yes you f***ing do! people are beaten to death, strangled, shot, thrown, hell one woman gets her head blown up (oddest scene in the movie)but its all down just fall down and die style.all in all this could have been great, it just had to be what it said on the tin.
David Alvarez Film Series B led by Albert Pyunn ineffable, and part of a notion similar to what we saw in the Japanese film Battle Royale. The film does look clearly Series B, but its setting is achieved and it is interesting but hardly explored. The script is so simple, a crime syndicate or force gathers 100 of his most blood thirsty murderers hired to participate in a battle against All in all, the proposal is: 100 men, 1,000 guns, and can only be three. The award ?, 10 million.So the film goes straight to the point by showing a series of shootings and lots of action, with some thoughtful pause to give some depth has a script that does not really have any. In general it is a film to poor. Have an interesting idea but only exploits half. The action scenes are good, but they lack emotion and more blood. It is noted that a previous film was the ¨ Matrix. Also missing most charismatic and interesting characters, Lambert makes a very ambiguous and abstract character, and meets Ice T, but has few scenes to show off. Of the remaining couple of friends highlight the arms, and a redhead that is not bad. The soundtrack on the other hand, is totally inadequate, shooting scenes with mambo music, as that no. Yet it is entertained by the amount of action you have and how little is taken seriously, and because as I said, your proposal is interesting. You can see, though I recommend much more Battle Royale. This is more like a fun prank 90 of those years.
Pioneer75 "Mean Guns" is a great movie as far as action goes. Christopher Lambert and Ice-T are really the only two big names in the movie. The rest of the cast is either virtually unknown or relatively unexperienced in the action movie genre.What happens when you dump a load of guns into a roomful of killers? You get this movie. As action as action can get, the confines of an empty prison makes for the perfect setting for the mayhem and murder of the contest that will leave only a certain lucky few alive, as per rules of the contest. Kill or be killed, the movie follows around a handful of central characters as they attempt to make it through alive.The soundtrack, the majority of which is Perez Prado, makes for the perfect background for the beautiful symphony of destruction and death throughout the movie. The acting leaves a bit to be desired. Some of the characters give very wooden and monotone performances (specifically that of "D" and "Cam"), but most of it is pretty decent. The action is on the more realistic side of the spectrum, going against many modern action movies in which the bad guys fly back 10 feet when they're shot with a small-caliber pistol. The deaths are fairly realistic; you don't get everyone being shot 14 times and then giving a long speech before finally doing a 540-backflip off a roof to their death.As far as action movies go, this is a good one. Don't expect any academy award winning acting, but its definitely an enjoyable movie.7/10
icet2004 Yeah this movie is funny and Ice-T was a big gun in this movie. good end.Ice-T's rap skills are very good.he is not good actor,but not bad too.average.this movie is strange.i have seen Johnny Mnemonic where Ice-T played J-Bone.it's was Keanu Reeves Movie.Keanu Is Good Actor.Mean Guns is different than all other movies i ever seen. Ice-T is my idol from music.i love his album original gangster and his song Cop Killer.he is the best rapper ever.i have heard that Ice-T wrote a book and it's called the ice opinion.all that makes is pure gold actually,but movies sometimes bad i don't mean 'Mean Guns' i mean 'New Jack City'.Ice-T's only real rival in rap is Krs One.
