Review of Guns & Talks

Guns & Talks (2001)
9/10
Absolutely hilarious film about hitmen
21 March 2003
Warning: Spoilers
This is an extremely funny movie that parodies some of the ubiquitous filmmaking cliches in asian action movies. /very minor spoilers below/

Hilarious jabs are dealt to:

* Hitmen turning sentimental when ordered to murder a girl they fall in love with ("She was pregnant!")

* Overzealous moviecops ("Know why I want him killed so much? I just don't like him.")

* Use of advanced weaponry and technology ("You're not James Bond so what's all these gadgets for?")

* Convoluted complex plans ("I can't kill him with lung cancer!")

* Strict professionalism and secrecy of assassins ("We're not people who kill for someone, and we've never done it.")

* Sudden cheesy exclamations of love ("As they embraced my lesson on true love, they couldn't say anything, and our living room was a melting pot of emotions.")

* Conflicts between brothers

* Cool camera angles

* Standard gentleman rivalvry between cop and robber ("I know you won't shoot me unless you're hired to.")

All in all, an excellent film for those who enjoy the genre. Highly recommended. Especially notice the scene where they can't help but laughing themselves when supposed to be crying, it's a killer (no pun intended).

Peace
