This movie shot it's load in the first 2 minutes - The Way of the Gun (2000) Discussion

i must respectfull disagree. A movie whos climax includes a gufight with bags and bags of money, a woman in labor, her lover and father - goes "somewhere."
Not to mention tefact that this could have beena plotless film and I'd still dig itdu to the fine writing. This is a personal thing - but if you enjoy visual art - ou don't lament and edward hopper for lack of going somewhere - youjust admire it's quality.

I have to agree with the OP. It was a good plot, but far too drawn out. I was surprised to find myself waiting for it to end.

It's all fun and games until someone gets caught. Then it's larceny.

Hey OP, I think it takes more than 2 minutes for them to go blow their loads for money...it's more like 5 minutes

It has an explosive opening, but then turns into one of the most profound examinations of crime and violence in the last thirty years of cinema. OP, I do not respect your opinion on film.

In Southeast Asia we call this type of thing 'bad karma.'

I bought the bluray on the strength of the opening scene, no questions asked. Only made it through 30 mins before losing interest.
