B-
Thankfully more prominent are the moments when Soechtig and Couric are willing to acknowledge the nuances within both sides of the debate. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 05/12/2016
Soechtig's passionately contended, slickly produced film may not sway the most fervid 2nd Amendment defenders, but in its problem-solving vigor could spur a lot of others who believe in change to make that call, join that group, or vote a certain way. Go to Full Review
Geoff Berkshire Variety 02/10/2016
"Gun" acknowledges the solutions to this ongoing problem are neither easy nor obvious, while persuasively arguing that more, surely, can be done. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Rationally, Under the Gun makes an ironclad case for the need of legislation. Too bad most people react emotionally to the matter. Go to Full Review
John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) 03/20/2017
heartbreaking and infuriating, Under the Gun is a definite must see Go to Full Review

Geke g 07/28/2024 This is really expose the actions whats going on behind the curtain. Must-see See more Munkhchimeg T 07/27/2024 Recommended. Has very good point. See more 06/12/2021 How can you give a movie much credit when they have to apologize for faking the drama of people knowing the answers, but edited out by the director with an agenda. The movie is so poorly done, it's obvious they don't know what they are talking about. Best analogy is, they don't know the terminology or nuance of guns. It's like saying a that all motor vehicles are the same, a moped and a RV are equivalent things in their mind. It doesn't matter that they both function to get one thing done get to a to b, but it's obvious to anybody with a brain that there are some things the same and some things very different. To the film maker's version of propaganda, there is no difference. That's what makes this film useless. See more 02/24/2019 It was good to see different points of view. I learned a lot. See more 09/14/2017 Came in about halfway in the part where they selectively cut an interview for 2ADefenders. That part made me angry.
