Rather Unique…
At first glance one would almost dismiss this movie as being a B-grade action movie. However, while tuning in one night to the late night movie channels I came across this and found myself unable to turn away. The cast in this movie consists of only a few name people such as Ice-T and Christopher Lambert, but to be honest the entire cast puts in some fairly good performances all around. What makes this movie so entertaining is that it combines action with a touch of insight into the lives of a group of criminals who all seem to want different things aside from just money. If you have some time on your hands and happen to catch this flick some evening, give it a look. Despite the apparent low budget, the movie is really quite well done with a good script, interesting camera work, and a compelling ending. Definitely worth your time if you’re looking for an action movie that differs from the norm.
Review By: Total Eclipse
A gem of a B-movie, concise and sure, refreshing a host of clichés and singlehandedly making mamba THE music for action scenes.
A gem amongst B-movies of its age – specifically, the ambiguous 90s age, when you weren’t exactly sure if something was B or A variety just by looking.

The premise itself is ingeniously simple – upturn a couple of IKEA plastic boxes full of guns, assorted ammo and baseball bats on top of a crowd of small-time hustlers, big-time killers and middlemen entrepreneurs, with a deadline and a 10 mil prize ahead of them. Hilarity will not hesitate for a moment to ensue.

The movie demonstrates a surprisingly sure and purposeful grip of its unsophisticated material. The writing is full of self-indulging one-liners and disconnected shock scenes, but manages to remain concise and dry overall. The directing is full of action movie clichés (though less so if you consider that it was done before The Matrix or Bad Boys or Shoot ‘Em Up), but retains a certain stylish fleur of mamba shindig where only the cool ones are invited.

The acting is accomplished entirely by the way of good casting (suitably so for cutout characters that this movie so nicely puts to use) – Lambert as an unstable Leon-type children-loving killer with a weight on his conscience, Halsey as an implacable killer with a heart, a worn-out accountant-journalist with a dirty conscience, a cool blonde killer girl with a chrome-plated Desert Eagle and so on.

Every cliché that this movie invokes it surprisingly fresh – no less because these clichés managed to become clichés without a worthy, contemporary manifestation in the actual films worth watching. Maybe these are common in literature or cheap TV, but in cinema, they lurk modestly in the background.

Here, they are in the spotlight. And they create drama – maybe not a tearjerker, but epic enough to be respected and not laughed at benignly.

All of the violent scenes are rendered with an aesthetic detachment, and at the same time, with geeky admiration for the heroes’ undeniable coolness. This combination makes Mean Guns a singular experience – you’re cheering for typical B-movie shootouts, but at the same time admire the stop-motion hallucinatory flashback-murder scenes; you’re laughing at simple street-wise humour that Ice-T impeccably projects (from his personal experience, no doubt) – but you stop and wonder at the surreal scene where a roomful of crooks tries to shoot each other with empty guns in time lapse.

After all, the location alone makes this movie unique – an ultra-clean, high-tech, dystopian prison, smack in the middle of a large city, littered with cold bodies and warm cartridge cases (or vice versa). Prize is in the middle of the labyrinth, and a cynical, steel-toothed demiurge is at the top of it; he seeks death but scoffs at weak attempts to deliver it.

All in all, this movie in my eyes puts to life a chaotic reality of William Gibson’s Sprawl (from his Neuromancer cyberpunk trilogy0. An assortment of selfish crooks, sophisticated in their choice of gadgets and styles, each one with a dark secret in their closet; somewhat flat personas, trigger-happy but cautious, in the middle of the lawless but tech-ridden world; this is Mean Guns all right.
