Whilst this series should have been great - some very well known names and a great concept - it just doesn't work for some reason. Don't know if it's the writing or the editing but, in my opinion, every show was a disappointment.

Not really sure what the previous reviewer watched but this is a great opportunity to see some great stars delivering a compelling series of interconnected stories. James Gandolfino was particularly good, as was Daryl Hannah.

Great, trashy fun w/ stellar cast
8 Dec 2005
Format:DVD
I bought this because it was on sale at Tower (for 15 bucks!), and because of the forementioned crew of top notch talent - the line-up in this thing is unbelievable - and was very pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining from start to finish, with some very clever twists.
If only I got such value for money every time I spent $15!

Go ahead. Scroll up. Take a look at all of the talent involved with this thing. In the world of sleeper hits, GUN is king.

A rediscovered Gem!
24 April 2005
Format:DVD
it's amazing what used to be on TV. Had this production been circa 2005, we would only have this on HBO.
Can you imagine these stars on broadcast TV now? No way !!! Gandolfini; Quaid; Hannah; Tilly; Sheen ; et al. Are you Kidding?
From the opening scenes of a terrorist kissing his Magic Bullet to watching Randy Quaid being humbled by Ms. Hannah ( naked and handcuffed to a golf hole), this 6 part series has it all. Terrific acting; well thought out script and Ted Demme AND Robert Altman too?
this will be one of the better series you can watch this year. One can just picture David Chase watching episode one ( COLUMBUS DAY), and declaring loudly " That's my $%&*$&^ Tony Soprano!!
buy this immediately, and watch what quality television used to be, before the Bushies took over.
Enjoy GUN, over & over.
