At least with a good number of bad movies. "Gun Shy" is really so ridiculously bad! It knows that it is bad, and there is no attempt to hide how silly, contrived, clichéd or cheesy the story is. This is my first review on IMDb, and I'm doing so because I think the movie deserves a fairer screening than the comments that I read after seeing the movie.
Gun Shy is unlikely to leave much of an impression, even on those who've followed Banderas's interestingly hit-and-miss career. Lukas (Fabian Hinrichs) is "gun shy". A quiet loner who refused to join the army because of his pacifist beliefs, he's working out his Civil Service delivering meals-on-wheels.
Spending his days with the elderly and his nights out rowing on the local river, he's the last person anyone would expect to be a ticking. Gun Shy is an odd mix of Spinal Tap (without the documentary aspect) and Taken. Very much played with tongue in cheek and for laughs, Banderas plays a washed up rocker on a pilgrimage to his native Chile alongside his wife, played by Olga. A leaden misfire that mostly shoots blanks when it comes to delivering the funny stuff. There are no reviews yet for this film. Gun Shy is a British action comedy film directed by Simon West starring Antonio Banderas.

Charlie Mayeaux (Liam Neeson) is an undercover DEA agent suffering from anxiety and gastrointestinal problems after a bust gone wrong. This is Gun Shy, a film that tries so hard to be an outrageous comedy adventure, but, much like the music of Henry's […] The biggest issue faced by Gun Shy is its writing. Lukas and Isabella begin a strange and wildly dysfunctional relationship which soon develops into Lukas watching her screw an older man in a closet and eventually culminates into his purchasing a gun and outright stalking her.
