Bill's Gun Shop is a 2001 American drama film directed by Dean Hyers, starring Scott Cooper and John Ashton.
The film premiered at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Film Festival on 14 April 2001. [1]
Colin Covert of the Star Tribune rated the film 3.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that the film "combines solid technique, knuckle-biting suspense and sharply etched human relationships." [2]
Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Never convincing, drama delivers heavy-handed ironies along with alternately witty/hackneyed dialogue, plus too much in-joke cineaste referencing." [3]
Eric D. Snider of DVD Talk rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote, "Bill's Gun Shop is a truly bad movie that has, somewhere deep beneath its odd subplots and sidetracks, a reasonably good idea." [4]
Justin-Nicholas Toyama of Home Media Retailing wrote, "Underdeveloped character relationships discredit a cogent, though thin plot. The romantic interest is grossly underplayed and superfluous." [5]
