IN THEATRES: SEPTEMBER 8, 2000

Reviews:
"...Authentic and smart. And what a lurid little plot it has too..." - 09/01/2000 Premiere, p.17


"...Stylish and intelligent....THE WAY OF THE GUN feels like a more violent and grim version of a Coen brothers film..." - 09/08/2000 New York Times, p.E10


"...[An] intricately plotted film....To hear Caan menacingly intone "I can promise you a day of reckoning you will not live long enough to regret" is to remember why this man is a star..." - 09/08/2000 USA Today, p.8E


"...[The] scenes are undercut with lyricism and deadpan wit, and make for flamboyant, richly satisfying denouement..." - 12/01/2000 Sight and Sound, p.56-7


"...The best and most realistic gunfights since HEAT, this is film-making at its sickest and slickest..." - 03/01/2001 Total Film, p.106
