In the American Wild West in the late 1800s, a notorious outlaw named Sam Starr is on the run from the law after a string of robberies and murders. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he kidnaps a widow named Selina Stevens and her young daughter, Lily, as part of his getaway. As Selina and Lily adapt to life with their captors, they begin to realize that not everything is as it seems with Sam and his men.

Meanwhile, a determined sheriff named Fowler is hot on Sam's trail and will do whatever it takes to bring him to justice. With a posse of men at his side, Fowler is prepared to take down Sam and anyone who gets in his way. However, as the two groups approach each other, they begin to realize that there may be more at stake than just capturing an outlaw.

6 Guns is an action-packed western that combines the thrill of a classic shoot-em-up with a touching family drama. The film stars Barry Van Dyke as Sam Starr, an outlaw with a heart of gold who finds himself questioning his own actions when confronted with the innocence of Selina and Lily. Sage Mears delivers a powerful performance as Selina, a strong-willed woman who refuses to be broken by her captors. Greg Evigan plays Sheriff Fowler with a steely determination and single-minded focus, while Brian Wimmer adds a touch of humor as one of Sam's loyal henchmen.

One of the film's strengths is its attention to detail in recreating the look and feel of the Wild West. The beautiful landscapes and wide-open spaces of the American frontier are captured in stunning detail, transporting the viewer back in time to a world of stagecoaches, saloons, and shootouts. The costumes and props are also spot-on, evoking the rough-and-tumble lifestyle of the era.

However, what really sets 6 Guns apart is its underlying themes of family, redemption, and the struggle between good and evil. At its heart, the film is a story about a mother and daughter finding strength in the face of adversity and a man trying to find his way back to the right path. These emotional themes add depth and complexity to what could have been a straightforward action movie, elevating it to something more.

Overall, 6 Guns is a well-crafted western that offers a little something for everyone. Fans of shoot-em-ups will appreciate the thrilling gunfights and high-octane action sequences, while those looking for something more thought-provoking will appreciate the film's underlying messages. With a talented cast, beautiful visuals, and a gripping story, 6 Guns is a must-see for anyone who loves a good Western.

6 Guns is a 2010 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.1.

Review by Ben Pimpler ½ 1

It's definitely a movie.

Review by Henry Portable ★

Asylum, make a good movie once, please. I’m begging you

Review by Dan ★½

Film School Drop Out Challenge - Week 38 - Genre - Western - Post-50s Revisionist Western

A gang hellbent on revenge heads to the house of a retired sheriff and kills him, his two kids, and leaves his wife for dead. But she survives and seeks help from a bounty hunter.

Certainly not a unique plot but in and of itself that's okay. The real problem is it's pretty low budget, especially from the actors. I had never heard of any of them before and many have apparently only been in this and maybe a couple other Asylum films, so that's never a good sign. The lead female (Sage Mears) is not great in her role. She has never learned…

Review by Erwin Vanhomwegen ★★½

We used to have in our Western club "The Smokewagon" two acts called : Angeleyes and Revenge. The movie 6 guns is a mixture of both acts. Angeleyes is a story about a killer / gunfighter - Angeleyes is a woman... Revenge is a story about a person who is left for dead, after he recovered he's comming back ... for revenge.

The clothing, weapons and gunbelts where all right. I meant - no hollywood holsters, but the "high riders". I'm glad I saw this western, but I won't see it again soon. Maybe in a few months...

With "2 Guns," Universal Pictures has taken box office pleading to a new level: The desired opening weekend gross is written directly into the script. With a budget around $80 million, "2 Guns" etches into your subconscious mind a little more than half that amount, brainwashing you into telling your friends to donate their ticket money. This sounds far-fetched until you count the number of times someone says the perceived target number, $43.125 million. Say it with me: "Forty-three point one-two-five million dollars." Marvel at the memorable unwieldiness of the phrase. This amount drives the plot, is a concern for every character, and is uttered around 43.125 million times. Each main actor gets multiple chances to say it with his or her personal spin. Bill Paxton has the most fun with it; his slow, staccato mentions sound like a Hemingway sentence read aloud.

If you remember nothing else about 2 Guns, you'll remember the exact amount that gets most of its cast killed. The money appears onscreen as an enormous, gasp-inducing pile of cash. Director Baltasar Kormákur and cinematographer Oliver Wood always shoot it from above, usually with someone in frame as a visual counterpoint. It would take 43.125 million rap videos set in strip clubs to match the fetishistic glee with which this money is presented, especially in the film's climax.

Money corrupts, and everyone in "2 Guns" is afflicted: The drug cartel leader, the cops, the DEA, the CIA, and the Navy all get dumped into the same bottomless pit of deceit. Double-crosses abound, starting with those of our protagonists Bobby ( Denzel Washington ) and Stig ( Mark Wahlberg ). They plan to rob a bank across the street from a diner with "the best donuts in 3 counties." Neither is aware that the other is on the right side of the law—Bobby's DEA and Stig is with the Navy. The duo, who have been operating together over two years, plan to frame each other as a means to the same end: the capture of drug lord Papi Greco ( Edward James Olmos ). The targeted bank supposedly contains Greco's drug money in safe deposit boxes.

I was surprised how long the film keeps us in the dark on the intentions of Bobby and Stig. The commercials and the trailer reveal their identities immediately. After the robbery, and the discovery of far more money than anticipated, Stig shoots Bobby when the latter reveals his true identity. Stig is repaid for his Naval loyalty by the murderous intent of his superior officers Quince ( James Marsden ) and Jessup ( Robert John Burke ). These and other familiar plot devices lead to the reteaming of Bobby and Stig. Mucho macho mayhem ensues.

The trailer also reveals that the oft-mentioned $43.125 million doesn't belong to Papi Greco. The true owners of the money are represented by Earl (Bill Paxton), a Southern-fried cross between Anton Chigurh and Chang from " Only God Forgives ." Earl asks everyone he encounters for that money, starting with the poor manager of the knocked off bank. When Earl doesn't get answers, he tortures and brutalizes his victims. Paxton clearly enjoys his sadism, bringing to it a committed, pitch-black comic vibe. This makes his every appearance an uneasy one.

Along for the ride is Deb ( Paula Patton ), Bobby's on-again, off-again DEA agent love interest. As expected, she provides the brief nudity the MPAA description warned you about. With the easy chemistry she has with her "John Q" co-star, she also provides some emotional heft for Bobby. While she's eventually a major cog in this machine of a plot, this is still a boys' club of a movie. Bobby and Stig go after all those who wronged them, forming the predictable bromance along the way. It's a cinematically natural path for these characters, even if this love affair is consummated by bullets piercing each other's flesh.

You've seen all this before, and many times. "2 Guns" works because it's essentially several riffs on familiar material. Cliché is not a bad thing if it's done right. Like a good jazz improvisation, "2 Guns" leads to the same place but not the way you may expect. The tone, pacing and staging of the action sequences are pleasantly surprising. This is a slower, more meditative film than advertised, finding time for quirkiness and humorous banter alongside the explosions.

The acting is better than the standard action film requires. Patton manages to wring conflicting emotions from her character and from us. As Stig, Wahlberg plays an even more over-the-top version of his cop character from "The Other Guys." He's funny, a tad sadistic, and manages a sincerity toward Washington that feels genuine. As Bobby, Denzel is Denzel, charming, a bit goofy, and incredibly unflappable. When Earl literally threatens Bobby's manhood, Paxton and Denzel play the scene as the coolest satire on masculinity I've seen in ages. Edward James Olmos has more character, world-weariness and intimidation in one line of his famously textured face than the screenplay offers Papi Greco, which makes him a less of a caricature.

The real star here is that money. The sheer physical size of it makes it damn near impossible to transport. "2 Guns" gets plenty of mileage from this; when Stig tells Bobby to take it all, I thought about how long it must have taken him to load it into their car. Later, in the film's best sequence, said money not only upstages Bobby and Stig but elevates them to their highest level of badass. Flying through the air after a car explosion that should have incinerated it completely, that $43.125 million cascades over our heroes who, with their backs to one another, open fire on their opponents. You can see that on the commercials. It looks a lot better when you're sitting in the theater.

These lads’ insane GTA 6 trailer recreation makes us want a movie

Grand Theft Auto 6 might be the most anticipated video game of the modern era and some fans were so jazzed by the GTA 6 trailer drop earlier this year they decided to recreate it… in live action… shot for shot.

YouTuber Andrew Levitt posted the clip earlier this week, which is unerring in its accurate rendering of the Vice City landscape – the fictional location based on Miami and Miami Beach.

Save £44.01 on Anker Prime 20,000mAh Power Bank

Snag a bargain on Amazon with the Anker Prime 20,000mAh Power Bank. We’re big fans of this fast, powerful and meaty poratable charging bank and it’s currently 34% off

Andrew and his pal Jacob have been all over the real life Vice City risking life and limb to shoot the imagery and borrowing news footage from elsewhere to recreate the trailer in impressive detail.

Andrew even got his girlfriend to act out the parts of the game’s chief character Lucia, while he played Jason – the other half of the Bonnie & Clyde-like criminal combo underpinning GTA 6.

As someone who lives near the fabled Vice City, there were several recognisable spots such as the Wynwood, Miami Beach, the Everglades, Biscayne Island, and Overtown areas in the city that’s embraced the Vice City moniker in recent years. The pair also head down to the Florida Keys for that bridge spot too.

The lads behind the video are now selling their itinerary for the real life Vice City tour (including the King of Diamonds dancing establishment) for $18 if you’re planning on a vacation to the Sunshine State any time soon. Overall, it’s a fantastic fan tribute that further whet our appetites for the oft-rumoured, GTA movie.

You can see their resulting efforts in the trailer and watch how it was done in the hilarious making-off video below below. Not bad, eh?

GTA 6 is expected in 2025.
