Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by John PetrakisJoseph H. Lewis’ kinetic, psychosexual B-movie laid many of the creative foundations of the American cinema of the 1970s, though it took a round trip to Europe for the movie to develop a reputation at home.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Stephen HunterLewis's long takes and sure command of film noir staples (shadows, fog, rain-soaked streets) make this a stunning technical achievement, but it's something more--a gangster film that explores the limits of the form with feeling and responsibility.
The New Yorker - 9/10 by Richard BrodyIt’s a strikingly modern, complex, disturbing, and yet sad, touching, and romantic film.
The Guardian - 9/10 by Philip FrenchIt's a superbly crafted film by a cult film-maker and features a virtuoso bank robbery sequence shot in a single take from a camera in the back seat of a car.
IndieWire - 8/10 by Vikram MurthiIt’s a B-film with a heart of gold, even if that heart was probably stolen.
Empire - 8/10 by Kim NewmanDarker and more subtly complex than you'd expect from a 1950s crime caper.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Eric HendersonLewis, through sheer force of will, turns the script’s easy ways out into the essence of blunt, adolescent sexual flowering.
LarsenOnFilm - 6/10 by Josh LarsenGun Crazy is a burst of movie id all its own, a confluence of sex, sexism and violence.
User Review - 8/10 by KenRGun Crazy – A Mini Masterpiece (spoiler-free overview) How did the King Bros and director Joseph H. Lewis (Cry of the Hunted ’53) turn this independent work into a striking, major motion picture? Lewis was not considered for major productions yet he consistently turned minor projects into major works! This is pure genius at its best and while contemporary so-called ‘movie makers’ constantly attempt to imitate him, they fail at every turn, and the more money they pour into their copycat works the more they elevate Mr Lewis. Director of photography Russel Harlan (Lust For Life ’56) works superbly with Mr Lewis, bringing stylish visual spectacle to this well above par movie. The surprising performance of Irish Peggy Cummins as the sociopathic female carnival sharpshooter is a well-earned femme fatale classic. Her partner in crime is a fellow sharpshooter - who because of an incident in his youth, never wanted to ever use guns to kill anything again, is well played by John Dall (Spartacus ’60). Both make a compelling pair on the tragic road to nowheresville. Black-banned performer Morris Carnovsky does a fine turn as a sympathetic small town Judge, with fellow black-banned writer, Dalton Trumbo smartly adapting MacKinlay Kantor’s intriguing story for the screen. Production Designer Gordon Wiles keeps it looking interesting & Composer Victor Young provides a dramatic music score – complete with a song sequence. The Warner Achieves DVD 9 transfer offers clear images and sound.
User Review - 6/10 by CodyZamboniSolid noir, with some amazing one shot sequences by cult director Lewis. The fun factor mostly comes with the bizarre relationship between the two charismatic leads, with Peggy Cummings getting more psycho as the movie goes along, and her partner in crime, realizing this way too late.
