Storyline

"Girl With Gun" is a film about Gwen Hunter, whose best friend Mitzi and on-and-off love Dan thinks she is an ordinary 20-something working woman. In reality, she is the Nightingale, an assassin who helps the innocent when they cannot help themselves. However, her double life leads her to contemplate whether it is worth it, having come so close to death only earlier that morning while on assignment, wondering whether she should just settle down with Dan to lead a normal life like Mitzi's.

User Reviews

Well done.

GIRL WITH GUN was actually a good film from the acting (for the most part) to the directing (for the most part) to the music (I liked the fact that there was varied music throughout the film and a cool end song). While there are some weak points in the film (including a storyline that begs for more than its actual 14 minute length - I really wanted to see more after the film ended). But that said, this is a short and due to that you can't expect to see everything like in a Hollywood Blockbuster. But this definitely has a potential to be a blockbuster, if it can be made into a feature with a budget. And until then, this is pretty good and anyone who likes shorts should see it (it screened at a festival already, hopefully more to come).
