Reviews for The Missing Gun
The climatic revelation of who's responsible seems plucked from the air, but Chuan's theme of memory reconstructed from external eyewitnesses is intriguing
Viewers who thought they were watching a comedy will be left scratching their heads when it turns into a mundane murder mystery.
The busy direction is often too much at odds with the film and is unwarranted with an actor like Jiang Wen.
I gotta admit I nodded off a couple times just for a few seconds. I couldn't help it; my eyes were rebelling against this movie.
