Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Works better in entertaining fits and starts than as a whole. It doesn't resonate much beyond the here and now, even if the shotgun blasts ring in your ears for a good long while.

fresh:
The Way of the Gun will be too bloody for many viewers, but for those who aren't turned off by the high level of violence, McQuarrie's first venture behind the camera offers an involving experience.

rotten:
Like his characters, McQuarrie's film has two faces: It is overplotted and it is crisply directed.
– Carrie Rickey,

rotten:
Rotten, pretentious movie full of minimalist dialogue and self-consciously arty cinematography.
– Peter Stack,

rotten:
Both the picture and its nefarious plot seem self-consciously calculated.
