Kenji Fujishima AV Club Thankfully more prominent are the moments when Soechtig and Couric are willing to acknowledge the nuances within both sides of the debate. Rated: B- May 16, 2016 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 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. May 12, 2016 Full Review Geoff Berkshire Variety "Gun" acknowledges the solutions to this ongoing problem are neither easy nor obvious, while persuasively arguing that more, surely, can be done. Feb 10, 2016 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew Rationally, Under the Gun makes an ironclad case for the need of legislation. Too bad most people react emotionally to the matter. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 28, 2020 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) heartbreaking and infuriating, Under the Gun is a definite must see Mar 20, 2017 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space It is a film to inspire anger and incite change and emerges as one of the best of its kind. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 14, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Geke g This is really expose the actions whats going on behind the curtain. Must-see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T Recommended. Has very good point. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It was good to see different points of view. I learned a lot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/19 Full Review Audience Member Came in about halfway in the part where they selectively cut an interview for 2ADefenders. That part made me angry. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member interesen dokumentarec za pravoto na kupuvanje na oruzje vo SAD mislam deka nikogas nema da im dojde pamet Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
