Gunshy (1998)

Member Rating:

In this crime drama, New York journalist Jake Bridges (William Petersen), off on a bender in Atlantic City, gets into a bar confrontation with Lew Collins (Meat Loaf) but is rescued by gregarious Frankie McGregor (Michael Wincott), a member of a gang headed by Irishman Lange (Michael Byrne), a sadist in a wheelchair. After Bridges gets an eyeful of Frankie's girlfriend, nurse Melissa (Diane Lane), he finds excuses to drop by the hospital where she works. Admiring Bridges's credentials as a writer, Frankie cultivates his companionship in order to upgrade his schooling in literature. Jake gives him a reading list, while Frankie draws Jake into the gang. Shown at the 1998 Santa Barbara Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

I tried 4 copies of this DVD and none would play on my (cheap) Apex DVD player or my computer. I kept the 4th DVD until I got my new Panasonic player, and it worked on that one. Go figure. Anyway, it looks like a good movie, but it's NOT CAPTIONED and there are only Spanish subtitles. Not good if you're deaf like me.
