Gun Shy
How did I miss this 2009 dark comedy? I happened to be looking for something to watch on instant play and I came across this movie. Being a fan of Liam Neeson, Sandra Bullock, and Oliver Platt I gave it a look. What a riot! This was exciting and funny and I applaud Sandra Bullock for producing it. Liam Neeson plays a DEA agent named Charlie, that faced death once to often, and he becomes gun shy with some health issues. He runs into a lower GI doctor played by Sandra Bullock and things start to change for him as he tries to play it cool for one more deal to bring down a drug cartel.Charlie's meetings with his psychiatrist lead to group sessions. The meetings are great and the comradery will pay off in the long run when the going gets tough. Oliver Platt plays an over-the-top gangster that shoots first and ask questions later. Fortunately he takes a liking to Charlie and they develop a repoire. The story is excellent and there is a great mix of crime drama and comedy. I highly recommend it if you enjoy the offbeat dark comedies. If you enjoyed this be sure to catchThe Dream Team,Miss Congeniality, andLake Placid (Widescreen Edition).CA Luster
