Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

classicsoncall This was my first look at the two principals, and I thought Paul Gross and Sienna Guillory acquitted themselves well given what they had to work with. This was billed as a comedy, but finds itself in between all out funny and serious revenge Western, and the effect leaves one a little off balance. What's interesting is the set up, in which gunslinger Montana Kid (Gross) arrives in Barclay's Brush somewhere in Canada quite under duress. We come to learn that he's on the run from American bounty hunters, but in the mean time, decides to avail himself of the good will that the few citizens in town have to offer. That is, except for blacksmith Jack (Tyler Mane), who gets on Montana's wrong side by 'stealing' his horse. That whole scenario was the basis for Montana forcing a showdown with the giant horseshoer, but with no one in town owning a gun, expectations for an eventual gun battle get watered down by film's end. The character I got the biggest kick out of had only a mere presence in the story, and that would have been Graham Greene as the Indian sidekick N'Kwala to Canadian Mountie J.T. Kent (Dustin Milligan). Greene had such a natural presence in the story, he made even the slightest mannerism noteworthy without uttering a sound. There were others in the picture that seemed destined to play a more significant role but just went nowhere, like school teacher Miss Alice (Laura Bertram) and the coy Miss Adell (Melody B. Choi). Even the leader of the bounty hunters, Ben Cutter (Callum Keith Rennie), seemed to have been wasted as a major villain. He was disadvantaged quite easily at the finale in a showdown that had no tension at all.So where I was hoping for a likely contender to "Blazing Saddles", this one missed the mark, even though the film turned in a relatively sanitized story line with no foul language or sexually explicit scenes. But then again, we didn't really need a lot of passing gas jokes around the old campfire to make it likeable, and I'd recommend the picture as fine, family friendly movie fare.

Trombonehead As a Canadian, I have to say that I'd like nothing better than to see somebody make a really good Canadian movie someday. In the entire history of the motion picture industry, Canada has only made a couple of movies that stand up as world class. We just do not seem to have the wherewithal to make movies like other non-American countries do---Australia, for example, which has made many great features over the years. So with "Gunless" here we go again. How can one possibly come up with enough adjectives to adequately describe what a totally lame, pathetic, useless waste of time this movie is? It's just embarrassing to think that this is all our Canadian movie industry can come up with. You have to start with the script, which could never have been accepted for production anywhere else but Canada. Our country seems to be so desperate to come up with movies that the Canadian government helps to fund this trash. Two thumbs down for this turkey---it's as lame and pathetic as you can get. Paul Gross is a joke, and so is everyone else in the cast. About the only thing that is good is the background scenery, which is the one thing you can't go wrong with up here in Canada. In every other respect "Gunless" SUCKS!!

TxMike With a very unusual title, and a very quirky story, I found this delightful movie on Netflix, via streaming video. The actors create unique, funny characters that are also interesting.The year is 1878. Paul Gross is the Montana Kid, and he shows up in this small Canadian village of population 17, tied up and sitting backwards in the saddle, on his horse. Clearly he has been in some sort of disagreement, and he doesn't even know where he is.We see very quickly that he is a gunman with a quick temper, and soon is threatening to add number 12 to his list of killings.But this town has gentle people and, except for the one that Montana has, not a handgun anywhere. This makes things difficult to challenge the local blacksmith to a gunfight after Montana is insulted.I have a special liking for Sienna Guillory and here she is Jane Taylor who needs help repairing her windmill so that her water pump will work. She bargains with Montana, she will provide the handgun if he will repair her windmill.It is refreshing that no one actually gets shot and killed in this movie. Montana and Jane take a liking to each other, and with the help of the Canadian mounties they actually run the bounty hunters out of the country.Nothing special or lasting here, just light entertainment. Paul Gross is very good in his role as the Montana Kid.

Tiw Lado recently, I grabbed few low-budget westerns to watch on my DVD during the weekend. (I have reviewed one of them, 6 Guns, that was pretty bad, and I didn't even bother to review the second one, so awful it was) So you can guess that i didn't have high expectation for this one. Especially if you add the fact that movie is Canadian, and I didn't really know Canadians do westerns too.Now boy, was I wrong to look at the film with a wrong eye.From the first shots till the end, the movie proved to be fun. There was this specific Canadian humor I guess, which I understood perfectly (Being non Canadian and even non American at all), because it was delivered very well by very talented actors.Speaking about actors. I can say for sure that for a long time I never saw such a good acting in low budget movies.God... Russel Crowey gets millions of salary for ruining the epic legends (yeah, I mean Robin Hood parody he did), while these guys delivering much more fun gain ten times less.Action scenes were shot well, camera work was good and lightning and the editing caused no questions.Of course you feel all the way through the film that this is low budget, but it adds to the charm.9 out 10...
