...my take on the movie: eminently forgettable
...the DVD: don't know (nor, frankly, care)
...another POV of the movie: http://www-tech.mit.edu/V114/N3/gunmen.03a.html

From: Work. Or commuting. Certainly not at home.
This one's in my "so bad, it's hilarious" pile.
It's one I've always liked for absolutely no reason. It has nothing to do with the plot (or lack thereof).

I enjoyed the film quite a bit. It's a buddy flick set in South America. Lots of swearing, comedy and nicely filmed locales. Some violence and nudity round out a good B action flick.
The only problem is that the film was shot gorgeously in 2.35:1 widescreen, but the DVD from Artisan is a very cramped pan&scan image (Damn you, Artisan! Damn you!!). I don't believe there is a widescreen version of Gunmen on video/DVD anywhere in the world. Someone please prove me wrong on this.
