Gunman ā A One-Shot Thriller That Shoots Its Shot⦠and Mostly Hits
There are movies.
Then there are movie magic moments and Gunman is one of those flicks that dares to pull a high-wire act without a safety net.
Directed with the nerves of a caffeinated sniper, Gunman drops us smack dab in the gritty, pulsing streets of Isla Maciel, Buenos Aires, where Pablo, fresh outta the clink is framed for a crime he didnāt commit.
The catch?
This thing is filmed in one continuous take. No cuts. No room for mistakes. Just raw, real-time chaos that feels like somebody dared the filmmakers and they doubled down.
That alone earns this indie thriller some serious respect.
But here's the kickerā¦. the story almost gets overshadowed by its own cool trick.
Sure, the premise is tight: man returns home, everythingās gone to hell, and now heās got to survive a neighborhood thatās treating him like the villain in an old west shootout.
And yes, the themes of redemption and revenge are humming in the background, like a guitar string ready to snap, but somewhere in the middle of its visual ambition, the emotional punch gets a little muffled.
Thatās not to say itās hollow far from it.
The actors put in work.
I mean, imagine doing your most intense performance and knowing thereās no cut if you trip over a trash can or forget your line. Thatās pressure and the cast handles it like pros.
Pabloās journey feels urgent, desperate and personal especially if youāve ever had to prove yourself in a place that already made up its mind about you.
But I wonāt lie: this film demands attention.
Itās subtitled, which I know is a dealbreaker for some, but trust me once youāre in, youāre in. The subtitles donāt distract; they dance.
And the camera doesnāt just follow Pabloā¦. it haunts him, like the ghost of bad decisions past.
Still, I wish the plot had a few more beats to breathe.
It sometimes sacrifices character depth in favor of pacing and while that makes for a thrilling 70 or so minutes, it left me craving a bit more story meat on the bone.
Gunman is a bold, stylish, technically mind-blowing film that dares to do what most action-thrillers wouldnāt even attempt.
Itās not just about whatās on screen itās about how itās delivered.
And while the substance occasionally takes a backseat to the spectacle, thereās still enough heart, tension and artistic flair to make it worth your time.
Especially if you're the kind of viewer who loves to see filmmakers swing for the fences.
I give it a strong 3.75 out of 5.
Put it on your radar and if it comes to a theater near you, catch it.
Just donāt blink.
