I expected a good-guys versus mafia types, and kinda got it. After about 5 minutes, I thought the dialog was stupid, and the characters unbelievable. After another 5 minutes, I realized that it actually was a comedy, very subtle and understated.
I would have given it a higher grade if I had known that sooner. Whose fault was that? They have to take some of the blame.

It's actually a comedy
Why the tilte?
I'm not sure why this movie was called Hand Gun. There are a lot of guns in the movie but the title is to generic. The movie itself is mostly forgettable and none are the characters are very sympathetic. It does have a surprising sense of humor. It is subtle but it is there.
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" gangster style .............
Vincent Cassel is at the top of his game, scoring a half million dollars in a daring robbery and shoot out. Treat Williams and Paul Schulze play his squabbling sons. When the old man is shot by some unsavory characters looking for his stashed cash, Williams and Shulze each get partial information on the money's location. This of course smacks of Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach's quest for Confederate gold hidden in a cemetery, while being pursued by Lee VanCleef, in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". There is some sharp humor in "Hand Gun", and the acting and character development is excellent. Highly recommended. - MERK
