Summary: Complete Waste of Time and Talent
Review: This is yet another example of someone trying so hard to tell a story, yet failing miserably in all aspects. Case in point: What in the world was Liam Neeson's character supposed to be doing in all the mobster "negotiations"? Was he a deal broker? Was he a casual observer? Was he on the side of the New York Mafia?????? Another observation: What possible chemistry could be developed between Sandra Bullock and Liam Neeson as she gives him an enema, that would lead them to be lovers? At one moment, he is writhing on the examination table; the next, the two are intimately involved????????? Lastly: What was the whole point of the gay Colombian couple, that suddenly surfaces at the end of the movie? And the whole line about "you should design clothes"?????? Did I miss something here???? At one moment, the man has broken ribs and can barely crawl--we next see him swimming along in the (East??) River....?!?!?! I was ashamed that I had spend the 3 bucks and change for the video rental....Instead, see "Get Shorty" or "Analyze This"....Shy away from Gun Shy--believe me, you'll be glad you did.

Summary: More Like 2.5, Actually....
Review: This movie is a near miss...It has a good cast, but its stabs at humor are too weak to elicit any real belly laughs, and as crime drama, well, it's not even in the game. Liam Neeson's DEA agent is burned out, scared half out of his wits by his last job, during which he was nearly killed. His symptoms include some sort of irritable bowel syndrome, requiring him to seek medical (as well as psychiatric) help. Sandra Bullock plays his gastroenterologist, and is a key player in the inevitable enema scene (is there anyone out there who still thinks these are funny? Blech!). Bullock's character is entirely peripheral in this movie, part of the formulaic "love-interest" that producers and script writers feel compelled to wedge into a story no matter what the cost. In terms of screen-time and narrative, her role is negligible. Remove it, and nothing would be lost. She isn't bad...not at all. She just has nothing to do. Oliver Platt is good...as usual. He plays a violent thug who, like Neeson, is fed up with his job. ... The running joke through the rest of the movie is the half-neutered guy's aching limp, plus repeated references to his having been maimed. Almost funny, right? But a little too literal to be hilarious. The jokes could have been sharpened throughout. And the ending simply doesn't work. Rent this one; don't buy it.
