Movie Info
This film opens with a big fat close-up of a sweaty prisoner with a fly (on a string) crawling on his face. The prisoner quickly pops the fly in his mouth and spits it out. Then he leeringly laughs about it to the prisoner next door. Nope. This is not a bad undiscovered Sergio Leone spaghetti western. Rather it is the opening shot Deran Sarafin's Gunmen -- a brainless action film without an original thought in its head. Christopher Lambert is the fly-eater, a man named Dani Servigo, the brother

A routine, vacuous actioner that tries to mix thrills with humor.
Sarafian is an unpretentious, easy-to-please director, with an eye for quirky character detail and a dab hand at the macho stuff.
Top Critic[A] witless action movie.
Gunmen, at the very least, does moviegoers the favor of instantly revealing how stupid and cheesy it is, thus sparing us the elevated expectations of fun.
Gunmen is a movie without plan, inspiration or originality - and to that list I would add coherence, except that I am not sure this movie would place much value on a plot that hangs together.
Though constrained by limited funds, it delivers the action goods with surprising style and boasts a better than average cast.
Truly awful, though I'll never get tired of Patrick Stewart a'slummin'.
Should be a whole lot of fun, but it really isn't -- Patrick Stewart using profanity is the highlight.
Standard actioner with a "what were they thinking?" acting ensemble.
A dull, overly familiar example of by-the-numbers moviemaking.
At its best, Gunmen is a pale imitation of other, better films. At its worst, it's instantly forgettable.
