The Gunfighter

About This Movie

The Gunfighter (2014) is a quirky blend of comedy and western that plays with some classic tropes. You’ve got your lone gunslinger entering a saloon, but here’s the twist: the narrator is as much a character as anyone in that room, and he’s a bit relentless in his storytelling. The humor is dry, often dark, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost like a stage play at times. The practical effects give it a nice authenticity, and the performances are spot-on, especially the way they interact with the narrator. It's a fresh take on a well-trodden genre, and the self-awareness makes it distinctive in a sea of typical westerns.

Directed by Eric Kissack; notable for its narrative style. · Cinematography by T.J. McGowan, emphasizing a classic western feel. · Features a mix of original and comedic dialogue. · Runtime is 85 minutes; good for a quick watch.
