The Gun Counter

Saw it tonight. Not sure how much longer it will have in theaters. Good flick. Good cast. Good period imagery of life, attire, autos, firearms w/out getting all cheesy with sephia toned film effects.

Anyone else seen it? Impressions?

He actually works in this role (the overeager yet rather inept youngest brother). I thought the movie was rather good (though to be honest I was expecting more violence, not that there was not plenty, I had just been lead to believe that there was a scene on par with the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan but there just wasn't, then again that would have been wierd to have in a move set in the 1920's, but what about Al Capone riding a mechanical dragon with Tommy guns for claws fighting Zepplins from Japan.... wait... what was I talking about?).

Either "sucker punch" or something written by Larry Correia.

Haha. At least the latter won't try and pretend that you're an asshole for enjoying what he's serving up.

Labuffy was decent in constantine. Well, he didn't RUIN it.

The film, on its own, was pretty good, in my opinion.
