George Baxter is an idealistic young screenwriter whose dreams of writing nonviolent movies are ruining his career. But when George mysteriously discovers a handgun on his doorstep, his fortunes suddenly change.
George grows intrigued with the gun, even seduced by it, and his strength confidence soar as women begin vying for his attention and a powerful studio head promises to produce his nonviolent screenplay. Of course George decides to keep the gun, secretly reveling in its power, but when he’s attacked by a jealous rival, his fortunes reverse. First, his warning shot ricochets and strikes the attacker in the back. Then, to make matters worse, police trace the ballistics to a serial killer wanted for nine brutal murders. And so, our poor peace-loving hero goes on the run, embarking on a wild comedy of errors revealing the truth about guns, secret identities, and big box office. Festivals screened at include: Woodstock Film Festival Arlene's Grocery Picture Show |
Here's the deal: Buy any download today.
We'll deduct that price from your purchase off the DVD if you decide to buy it. Or if you want the higher res download later on, the amount you already spent on the low res download counts toward the upgrade.
This offer doesn't expire. We're not going to make you pay extra for figuring out that you love one of our movies so much that you want the DVD or high res download. That's just how we roll.
We never want you to feel ripped off when you buy something on Festival Genius. It's that simple. We came up with the idea that the purchase of a download is like a down payment on a DVD - that you'll never have to spend extra on a film just because you bought the download first - because we think it's the right way to do business.
Trying to get every last penny out of you is not our thing. Helping you find (and buy) great movies is.

Better than a train wreck! Quirky. Gritty. Funny. And it moves, from the first frame to the last. The story totally drives each character to discover how gaining or loosing a handy little piece (firearm) will alter their sensibilities: aggressiveness to passivity; confidence to desperation; and all vice versa. Some overacting, and convenient characters and plot points, are forgivable... if not somehow necessary to the feel and style of the film. And as events unfolded, I constantly wondered "What's next?", which was amusingly paid off each time. It has an intimate authenticity without feeling dated -- especially with such a timeless subject as violence -- and the "circusy" black-and-white montage transitions just tickled my fancy. Although the conclusion didn't quite feel right, it was still lots of fun, really.
