Girl with a Gun

This film does well in setting up the plot relatively early and carrying the theme throughout. The sound quality, music composition and camera angles were spot on, which is not always performed effectively on lower budget features. Mr. White put a great team together and the cast was well chosen overall. Especially appealing wwere the chosen locations throughout the film with precision authenticity of the area and culture represented. Drone shots were chosen wisely but not overdone. Editing was performed to perfection in my opinion. I am looking forward to future projects from this writer/director.

Tomi Shaw (Ronni Hawk) dropped out of her triple major to tend bar a six hour drive from home. She hasn't been back in years until now when her parents (Glenn Robin + Katryn Schmidt) die from a murder-suicide. The town treats her strangely. Asking questions she discovers her dad (one of the good guys) was working with drug runners when the fishing dried up at Lake Arthur, Louisiana. Cody (Jeremy London) turns out to be the only person she can trust. Everyone wants the money her dad hid. Tomi is a crack shot except she can't hit a truck driving away from her in a straight line. The film was okay up until the ending when Tomi has her "Walking Tall" scene. I expected it to be so much more, but they went cheap. It should of happened over a few days one at a time withe the future victims being scared and wondering who is next and who is killing them. Instead it was 10 minutes of quick kills. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Free on Tubi.

The heroine is Tomi Shaw (Hawk), a bartender who gets a call one night, summoning her back to the family home, a six-hour drive away. Her mother has shot her father, then turned the gun on herself. However, it's not long after her arrival back to the small town in question, that the circumstances of her parents' deaths come into question. I should have known within 5 minutes this was going to be a complete potato. The acting was flat, the script was poor, the editing was appalling as was continuity. Scenes would fade out without us seeing what was happening, and scenes would cut in with no explanation of where or what they were. I had no idea who some people were and that appalling music...loud melodramatic music when it wasn't even needed. The writer needs to go back to writing school and the director needs to get a job in McDonalds where his skills will better serve him. Don't waste even 5 minutes on this potato, you will regret it.
