Guncrazy (1993)

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Long before Oliver Stone's 'Natural Born Killers', 'Guncrazy" explored the emotions of two young people caught up in a whirlpool of sex and violence they were hard-pressed to control.Joe Dellasandro was in Andy Warhol's 'Dracula' and was physically attractive at that time. "Time wounds all heels!". Two bullets take care of him.It's one of the few films that features Billy Drago where he's depicted as a "nice person". He's one of my favorite villains! Check out his filmography.If you like 'Guncrazy', you will probably also like 'Badlands', an early Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates crime drama.Enjoy!

For me,'92-'93 were the best years of Drew's career.In her tumultuous and infamously scandalous adolescence, Mrs. Barrymore was already a very funny and nice actress, and impressively attractive. So,she had several leading roles—and sometimes only supporting parts—in a series of very humble movies from the beginnings of the '90s. Some of these movies I enjoyed very much. They were made in a period that coincided with the rather brief revival of the American B movies in the early '90s—revival and flourishing that benefited from the screen abilities of persons like Drew, Tweed, E. Roberts, etc.. For a brief period, the B cinema in America seemed to set itself up for something. Needless to say that Drew looked very well—a fleshy girl with big jugs and more to show. Extremely sexy and arousing in a unpretentious way. On the other hand, it was easily, immediately noticeable that Drew was, as a young actress, very competent. She was always more than a body on display. The films she made offered her charms fully, used her judiciously, and this was a fine thing.Some of her early films (well, early is relative if we speak about Drew, being given her extremely precocious screen debut) established her as a sex starlet. Those are, in fact, the Drew movies I have liked the most. On the other hand, these were roles of bad girls. But in other movies she was required to make nicer roles, more good—natured, if one can use such a term.Drew brought a note of simplicity, charm, sincerity and naturalness that is delightful. I mean, of course, that roles that needed such a thing. Her part in Guncrazy (1992) needed these nice qualities.I guess it was not a single trace of style or of art in those early Drew films from the '90s—but this is not the point. They were but patchwork, yet …. It was plenty of Drew—and this is something I could fully appreciate. Her screen presence was one of the most enjoyable. She also had some kind of natural ability to display in those roles of nippy, nimble bad girls and nymphs. In Guncrazy (1992) we find some nodding acquaintances from the early '90s B cinema: people like Ironside, here as a noisome cop. Guncrazy (1992) is interesting because it seems made by its very protagonists.Drew's adolescent body and physical allure offered a spicy contrast between her homely plenteous shapes and some kind of paprika eroticism she was so good at displaying. This gave the piddling movies a certain pleasant picturesqueness.

"Guncrazy" is a mediocre movie at best, unfortunately. However, if you want to see a 17-year old Drew in (yet again) sexual situations (none of which are good), then this is the movie for you.It combines the "I married an ex-con", "I like guns", and "I'm a sexually troubled girl" plots into yet another movie.Directed by Tamra Davis, who made at least one pretty good movie ("Skipped Parts"), so she is not totally without talent. The movie was written by Matthew Bright, who wrote "Freeway" a few years earlier, so he has talent as well. Included are Drew Barrymore, Ione Skye and a couple other notable names, however, they display no real talents here.I guess the dialog is the weakest link, here. Some of it just sounds bad or out of place.There are no extra features, but the DVD is available for about $7.99. You could do worse, but not by much.

I just saw this movie the other night here in Sweden, and since i am a Drew Barrymore Fan, i thought this movie was good. Drew acted good and the storyline was interesting and kinda weird.It's worth seeing if you have nothing else to do or just want to see how Drew Barrymore looked when she was 17 (She's Pretty!!).
