Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
snowboarderbo Fantastic interviews, freaking amazing people being interviewed and an excellent focus on the subject matter.I knew a lot of those names going in to this, but there were more that I didn't know. I thought that was great, getting to "meet" new people. I found out a lot about some people I had heard of, too, for instance: I knew who Jason Hook was because I've been listening to 5FDP since they started; but I didn't know his history, so it was cool seeing how he's a regular blue-collar guy at heart.In fact, that was the coolest takeaway for me, I think, was seeing how all these guys, despite their incredible and somewhat arcane skills, really are blue-collar-"working for a living" folks just like me.My favorite takeaway tho, is that Liberty Devitto is clearly one of the coolest mofoss on the planet in addition to being a kick-ass drummer. I wanna hang out with him, buy him a beer or something. If I thought he'd get any money from it, I'd go buy Billy Joel's entire catalog right now (relax; I know he wouldn't).Truly worthwhile, IMO, if you are a musician or just love music. Again, 10/10 rating from me.
bettycjung 1/11/18. What a cool bunch of professionals. This is a great documentary to watch in which session musicians get to share their love of playing for the sake of playing. Though many have gone nameless, playing in the shadow of big personalities, they are so grateful for the chance just to play in that kind of environment. These are the true artists in the music world! Worth catching.
panchovaldovinos Everything in this movie appears to be something unknown to the regular music lover like me. The hired guns were something I didn't even considered in the music industry. Really good featured musicians, fun stories. Really great job. You must see it, trust me!
wright0990 Hired Gun is a backstage look at some of the most prolific and popular musicians, bands, singers, and songwriters. There are so many wonderful and interesting stories here. From Billy Joel to Kiss, Metallica, Bon Jovi, and Pink. There is literally something for everyone. Learning about the band members lives and hearing how and why they are where they are was a blast. I saw this in the theater twice and loved it both times. I highly recommend it.
