Leave your thoughts about Love and a .45.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasTalkington not only has style but also a terrific way with actors, giving them the confidence to go over the top while having fun doing so. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckGory, spastic fun, Love & a .45 is a broken roller-coaster ride of Texas trouble. It's not anything you haven't seen before, but it might remind you why you liked those other movies in the first place. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezHemorrhaging enthusiasm, ruthlessly violent, and light-headed with its own hard-core grunge worldview, LOVE AND A .45 unmistakably positions director Carty Talkington among the many pretenders to Tarantino's throne. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyWhat holds the film back, however, in addition to its less than compelling schema and central relationship, is its utter lack of visual style. At a time when most pictures feature form almost at the expense of content, this one has an utterly undesigned look that’s virtually distinctive in its blandness. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannDirected by first-time film maker C.M. Talkington, Love & a .45 is a low-rent variation on Natural Born Killers -- ragged, raunchy, a bit bratty but not altogether worthless. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIn any case, Love and a .45 is too mean-spirited to be funny, and it winds up nastily derivative rather than clever. |
