Entertainment Reviews:
...[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...
USA Today
Rating: 3/4 --
Before it fires off a few too many volleys of bullets for its own good, The Way of the Gun rolls out as a noirish, contemporary crime drama with a cool, retro-Western air.

Tulsa World
The Way of the Gun is doomy trash, a blood-soaked saga of remorseless killers and natural-born blatherers. I'm sure I've seen worse movies, but nothing so steadfastly unpleasant comes to mind.

Wall Street Journal
Rating: 1/4 --
Far more troubling than technical deficiencies is the cynicism of The Way of the Gun, which trots out the cliches of gratuitous violence and nihilism without considering them in a fresh or critical way.

Baltimore Sun
...[The] scenes are undercut with lyricism and deadpan wit, and make for flamboyant, richly satisfying denouement...
Sight and Sound
What aims at being terrifying is just loud and goofy.

TIME Magazine
A grisly mix of carnage, torture, backroom surgery and painful dialogue.

Product Description:
Two professional criminals, Parker (Ryan Phillippe) and Longbaugh (Benicio Del Toro), think they've devised the plan of a lifetime: kidnap Robin (Juliette Lewis), a pregnant surrogate mother, then collect on the ransom money from the parents-to-be. However, when Parker begins to take a shine to the kidnapping victim, the plan begins to crumble. But it is not until a heavily armed group of mob hit men arrive with the ransom money that Parker and Longbaugh realize they've cooked up a spicy stew of chaos, violence, and confusion. The unborn baby tops it off, making Christopher McQuarrie's THE WAY OF THE GUN a terrifically tense nail-biter.
