Under the Gun

About This Movie

Under the Gun has this gritty, almost raw feel to it, you know? It’s got the classic 'cop on a mission' vibe but mixed with this unexpected comedic angle. Sam Jones leads as Mike Braxton—he's not just tough, he's a brother out for revenge, and his performance has a certain earnestness that makes you root for him. The pacing is all over the place, which adds a sense of urgency to the madness. And the practical effects in the action scenes? They’ve got that late '80s charm, like they weren't afraid to be a bit messy. Plus, the Los Angeles backdrop adds a nice contrast to the St. Louis cop’s perspective, making it distinct in the cop-action genre.
