In Die in a Gunfight, Mary and Ben are the star-crossed black sheep of two powerful families engaged in a centuries-long feud – and they’re about to reignite an affair after many years apart. Their forbidden love will trigger the dominoes that will draw in Mukul, Ben’s best friend, who owes him a life debt; Terrence, Mary’s would-be protector-turned-stalker; Wayne, an Aussie hitman with an open mind and a code of ethics; and his free-spirited girlfriend, Barbie. As fists and bullets fly, it becomes clear that violent delights will have violent ends.

Schiffli's snarky and snide self-aware tone quickly grows wearisome, and his action sequences have a cheapness about them that's distancing.

It's a shame that it's all so wincingly contrived. The film tries so hard to be slick, but its efforts are both unoriginal and painfully amateurish.

If you want to spend your time judiciously, making sure you get the most of out life, you wouldn't dare rent or see Die in a Gunfight in theatres.

As Die in a Gunfight limps towards its woebegone conclusion, nearly everything that was once interesting about it falls away.

The Bard's most famous love story has spawned many adaptations, and Lurhmann's take on it has sparked plenty of imitators, but this is the very worst of both worlds.

Loved it! Whimsical and funny and romantic but in a very ironic way.

Boring. Incredibly boring. This movie is just a string of tropes glued together with snazzy camera shots and lively music. But, good movies are more than the sum of their parts. I made it an hour into this movie and didn't bother finishing it.

Some movies are cool. Some movies are quirky. The biggest problem with this movie is that it tries too hard to be both of those things. The story is a modern day Romeo and Juliet, not done nearly as well as Baz Luhrmann's amazing rendition. The attempt to frame shots and scenes in a way that shares the hipness with the audience just falls flat here. Alexandra Daddario is always good and this one is no exception; however, her performance is not enough to save this one. There are some fun scenes. The movie is disappointing but not the worst. I think the failure is not in the script and performances, but in the Direction and Cinematography.

Overall, there's no way to say it other than this was highly disappointing. A modern-day Romeo + Juliet is certainly welcomed, but this was weak, uninteresting and nothing ground-breaking. We are given many characters to follow, but like the plot, I couldn't invest in any of them as they do very little on-screen to keep movie lovers engaged, entertained or excited. Credit where credits due, the film has tried to be creative, fun and modern, but in the end, it's just a film that I've already forgotten about.
