Last night I called up a movie from Netflix. I said to my wife, “It’s got Antonio Banderas. How bad can it be?”
Answer: Really bad. Really, really bad. Maybe in Bob’s Top 20 Worst Movies of All Time bad.
I won’t bother you with details. The movie is bad. We’ll just leave it at that.
Oh. The name of the movie is Gun Shy.
Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie one star. Is there no half star rating?
Roger Ebert agrees with me.
“’Gun Shy’ is an action-comedy starring Antonio Banderas that is lacking only action, comedy and a performance by Antonio Banderas that is anything other than a complete embarrassment. At least with a good number of bad movies, you can sometimes see what they were attempting to go for and then analyze where and how they went wrong. In the case of this film, not only does it not work by even the most basic of entertainment standards, it is impossible to grasp what the result might have been like if it had actually worked, unless it was meant to be a part of an experiment designed to make 92 minutes seem as if they are lasting forever.”
