CLOCKWORK LEMON
MEAN GUNS is a vile, pointless movie with no redeeming qualities. The horrible acting of Ice T has never been so flagrantly evidenced as in this loser. He plays some kind of syndicate lord who assembles all these people who have somehow betrayed the syndicate (this includes for no apparent reason a vampire?). Armed with not only guns but baseball bats, the movie is one long let's see how many people we can kill in ninety minutes. The murders are offensively brutal and with a plot that limps along, one has to wonder why this movie was even made. How can we root for anyone when they are all heartless, cold-blooded killers? Christopher Lambert, the stone faced hero of B movies, even brings along his little daughter to wait in the car while the murders go on. The movie tries to embrace some kind of code of honor among murderers, but is there honor among these low lifes? One female actress, who plays Barbie, is so obnoxious I couldn't wait for her to meet her demise, and it takes a long time to happen, too. With an ending that is so forced and implausible, MEAN GUNS is one mean film, and that doesn't mean you should watch it if you know what I Mean.
