The Hired Gun

About This Movie

The Hired Gun is an interesting piece from '89 that taps into that gritty mercenary vibe. Our protagonist, a seasoned ex-mercenary, is pulled back into a world of conflict, tasked by a neo-Nazi group to retrieve these elusive WWII documents. The pacing is pretty typical for the era, with a blend of action and suspense that keeps you engaged. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and there's a certain rawness to the practical effects that gives it character, particularly in the shootouts. You can see the performances are grounded, even if the script doesn’t always shine. It’s not your average action fare; it dives into some darker themes, making it a niche interest for collectors who appreciate that blend of action and socio-political commentary.
