James Coburn is an actor who has proven his worth by his
longivity. I have admired his work since I was a kid. My admiration
continues. He was awesome in Affliction and no less awesome in
American Gun. This story is very inventive in its telling. It utilizes the device of
flashback better than any film in recent memory. It has also,
through its multiple story line, enabled to include in its cast a
variety of minoroty actors and strong female roles. The issues that
are tackled are well examined. War, male rites of passage,
father/daughter, parent/child relationships, faith and forgiveness to
name a few. And it manages to not give away its ending. I highly
reccomend this film.
