The story is not particularly strong, there is a lot that I wish was explained better, and the movie all-around feels like there are some scenes that are missing, although I wouldn't be able to tell you what would happen in them. However, this is a fun movie. It is the perfect amount of goofy to go with the action, the acting is well done I thought, and the action itself isn't half bad. There is something missing, maybe a plotline or something that would make it feel more complete, but overall that feeling of something left out kinda makes me jones for a sequel. Also, the movie has some hint of reality in the form the action takes, and it could be the director's choice to not allow the audience to know everything and that missing information is what feels like a gap. I had a lot of fun watching it, I will likely watch it again and I will recommend it to friends. I have never left a review on here before but saw a user who gave it 1/10 stars and felt like that was so unjust that I had to leave my uneducated consumer opinion.

Nothing classic, but an enjoyable little contained thriller. The central macguffin scene is an entertaining gag, there's some decent gore chase setpieces. All in all it feels like a first time director who hasn't quite gotten a handle on how to connect scenes and move the story along naturally. Lots of the movie takes place in a handfull of locations, and where a more experienced director (or maybe a larget budget) can make a few settings maintain momentum, here it feels much more like treading water waiting for the next action. It's probably not going to be a favorite of anyone watching, but a few good kills, decent performances, and flair in the writing make it worth a stream. Also, if you like Richard Kind, he gets a few monologues and to hang out in a nice suit, so there's that.

Richard Kind co-stars in 2022's Run & Gun. It's weird seeing him play a baddie but he's decent at it. Too bad "Gun's" script doesn't do him a whole lot of justice. The dialogue between Kind and the other actors is rather banal, cutely unimaginative, and somehow written by a teenager who had one too many energy drinks. "Sorry what was that in the background?" Noise. Annoying movie noise and not much else. So OK, what is Run & Gun about? I guess it's a crime thriller or a pseudo Western or some black comedy with sun-drenched hues. There's a cool blue corvette featured, a lot of standoffs and bloody shootings, and a setting that looked like Arizona (I was there three months ago so maybe). What "Gun" doesn't have is a cinematic identity. It doesn't know what it wants to be or even cares for that matter (at least the poster looks cool). Director Christopher Borrelli fashions Run & Gun as a Joe Carnahan knock-around without the concluding, gotcha frames. Minus those gotcha moments, I didn't come into this flick wanting to see another Copshop. Yeah yeah Kind is a good trouper. He's known. Everyone else in "Gun" is unknown. I mean Run & Gun is like a B-movie with a c-minus list cast. The lead is Ben Milliken and he plays Ray. Ray is a criminal looking to go straight until some hitmen get a hold of him and want him to do one last job. Milliken is not much of an actor (he's more of an over-actor). Ben's Ray gets beaten around, shot at, and dragged by a car multiple times. You scratch your head as to how he could ever survive the video game carnage here. I mean who does he think he is, Harrison Ford? Milliken is more like the poor man's version of Richard Chamberlain (except for maybe one or two pics, Chamberlain might be the poor man himself). Ben and the movie around him are trivial and monotonous unless you wanna see stuff blow up with little linkage. There's not a lot of "fun" in this gun.

Ray (Ben Milliken) escapes death and attempts to live a low profile life in the burbs. His criminal past catches up to him as Grayson (Richard Kind) demands he works for him again. He is to get a package for $440,000. Mind you, there was nothing illegal in this transaction, but they make it out that way. The package is a mystery as Ray is double crossed. It was a fun action film with moments of silly. Odd and likeable characters. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Would not call it B movie gold but give it a shot there are much worse big studio films. Some of the story is cliche however their few unique character development moments that would be fun to watch in a limited series. Bumped it a star for the cowboy bebop reference!

Stumbling upon the 2022 action thriller "Run and Gun" by random chance and seeing that the movie had Mark Dacascos on the cast list, of course I had to sit down and watch what writer and director Christopher Borrelli had to offer. And while "Run and Gun" certainly was watchable, it just wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable action thriller. In fact, there are far better action thrillers out there, which makes "Run and Gun" feel like a very bland and generic one actually. It is good enough for a single viewing, but that is about all it had to offer. And I bet 24 hours after having seen it, the memory of the movie will be fading away. The storyline told in "Run and Gun", as written by Christopher Borrelli, was just too mediocre and bland. There was nothing riveting or particularly exciting about the things that transpired in the movie. And the narrative didn't really have much of any ongoing momentum or drive, so it felt like the action thriller was mostly running in Neutral gear. I wasn't familiar with Ben Milliken (playing Ray), whom had the lead part in the movie. He was actually a fair enough actor and worked well enough with the limitations imposed by an improper script and storyline. Mark Dacascos was good in the movie, just a shame that he hadn't a larger role to play. It was actually quite fun to watch Richard Kind in the role that he portrayed. If you enjoy action thrillers, then "Run and Gun" is not the best of choices. I am rating "Run and Gun" a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

Charles's word is good enough for me !!!!! Sounds like a mediocre action flick and doesn't break any new ground....now famous only for Shaq reference.

What a load of crap. A weakly written story, diabolically directed and cringe worthy acting. Don't bother watching unless you really have nothing else better to do, like mowing the lawn or cleaning the toilet.

A low budget film that punches above it's weight class. A clever idea for a film. If the budget was bumped up, they had an A-list actor and if wrote it less as a horror film; I could see this getting a following.
