Short Review

When Eddie(Donal Logue, of "Terriers") and Richie(Gregory Sporleder) try to collect a debt at a strip club, they are re-routed to a farm where they are brutally assaulted. Seeking revenge, they are joined by Mamet(Callum Keith Rennie) in buying guns from Easy Gary(Max Perlich). Before they go, they get high which might explain their accidentally killing more people than they originally planned on. On the plus side, it looks like they hit the jackpot.Directed by Kari Skogland, "Men with Guns" is a prime example of style triumphing over substance in desperately thriving for an offbeat rhtythm in its depiction of underworld denizens while being overboard with the sometimes literally flowery dialogue. The intriguing cast which also includes Paul Sorvino is both a plus and a minus. It is a shame because there are some good thoughts here on success and what it takes to achieve it that go beyond just simple ambition and luck but maybe depends on how we treat each other.
