Storyline

Handguns figure in the intertwining lives of nine people. Warren shoots his wife Helen's lover and his defense is that he thought he was shooting an intruder. She leaves him; the lawyer helps her get a job with a nutty, reclusive computer wizard who waves a pistol about, sometimes at Helen. Tennel, the computer geek's ex-assistant, lands a video-store job and is smitten by Annabel Lee, an aggressive street kid who likes complaining about men to her pistol-packing psychotic brother to set him off. In secret, Annabel starts an affair with the lawyer, who has both a pistol and a gay lover, who becomes jealous. He has a pistol too. A cool (and armed) cop stays on Warren's tail.

User Reviews

Interesting but Preachy

This is another attempt by Hollywood to get the general public

incensed against guns. When the truth be known, Hollywood

wouldn't have a thing to write about and make movies about if it

weren't for guns. Take a moment and think about the movies you

have seen lately and long ago. Guns, Guns, and more guns. You

can count on one hand the 'driving miss daisy' type movies that

have come out of Hollywood. In this movie they don't want you to

pay attention to the lack of morals demonstrated by almost all of

the characters. Just think about the guns. The story was

interesting with the interplay of how the characters were at one

time or other involved with one another.The last good movie I saw

was 'Secondhand Lions'.
