Quintessential film noir. [20 Mar 2005, p.N03]
It's a superbly crafted film by a cult film-maker and features a virtuoso bank robbery sequence shot in a single take from a camera in the back seat of a car.
Lewis's long takes and sure command of film noir staples (shadows, fog, rain-soaked streets) make this a stunning technical achievement, but it's something more--a gangster film that explores the limits of the form with feeling and responsibility.
Gun Crazy is a burst of movie id all its own, a confluence of sex, sexism and violence.
In its B-picture way, it has a fascinating crumminess.
Pretty cheap stuff.
