Turk Henry, a bassist for a recently split mega-platinum band, takes his pampered wife on an exotic luxury holiday to Chile only for her to be snatched by a group of shipless buccaneers trying to raise money to buy a boat. Despite having never organized anything more challenging than a club sandwich from room service, Turk embarks on a rescue mission, taking him from the back alleys of Santiago to the jungles of South America.

It's loud and dumb and irritating and forgettable.

Gun Shy somehow manages to come across as being both screechingly over-the-top and desperately, painfully dull at the same time.

Rated: 1/4

Random moments are not nearly enough to recommend this witless and graceless farce.

The Upcoming

Gun Shy [is] a film that tries so hard to be an outrageous comedy adventure, but, much like the music of Henry's fictitious band, comes across as loud, obnoxious and with nothing meaningful to say.

Rated: 2/5

THN

Gun Shy is a desperate, embarrassingly unfunny attempt at a slapstick caper, with the script firing blanks at each and every turn.

Rated: 1/5

Film Threat

Gun Shy is unlikely to leave much of an impression, even on those who've followed Banderas's interestingly hit-and-miss career.

Rated: 1.5/5

OMG! This is HILARIOUS! Might not be for those under the age of 40, because let's face it, my hubby and I grew up watching rock 'n' rollers such as Antonio Banderas' plays in this movie. You'll have to be an old soul or an 80s kid that will appreciate this hilarity of this genre - or is that trope? A completely overused word as of late. Free with ads on Vudu 4/15/21. I purchased it after watching it for free. Enjoy! You won't regret this one :D

Enjoyable! Very funny! It was a riot to watch. Antonio played a run down musician perfectly. Highly recommend. I give it less 1 star because there wasn't enough action for me. The federal agent following him kind of sent the movie in a different direction. He should've been killed off sooner!
