Summary: Drew's taste in film roles keeps going south....
Review: Tragic Love story and very violent movie is draged down by a tedious script and more video game tactics then you can throw stones at. Acting,costumes, and effects work all wasted in this mst direct to video release, and setting up Drew to appear in the Charlie's Angeles trash movies also. Bleech.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Drago real person to watch in "Guncrazy"
Review: Character actor Billy Drago (Delta Force II , In Self Defence) keeps this girl-meets-boy-who-loves-guns tale afloat. Though not cast as a bad guy as his roles in movies usually call for, he brings this special talent to his screen persona. And it's perfect for him. He plays the minister of a snake-handling religious group. He's done cult/religious leaders before (Never Say Die) with Frank Zagarino and Robin Smith (Solar Force). He's always been able to create a twisted charismatic leader or powerful, sadistic villain. If for nothing else this movie is worth watching just to see him do what he does best. Worth a look.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good action scenes, canned dramatics
Review: Drew Barrymore exudes sexy tomboy charisma here playing small towner who finds jailbait love with an ex-con trying to straighten out his life. The movie kicks into high gear about mid-way through, once the pair gets into hot water. Until then it's rather clumsy, unfocused and slow. A long bit with an overaged Ione Skye doesn't work, and the rural atmosphere is cluttered with too many eccentrics.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stupid stupid stupid !!
Review: Plotless. A mess. Horrible. Need I say more? (yes, I do) Drew didn't write this--she was in the equally horrible B-movie based on this book, but she isn't the author of it.

So who is? Who cares! Except maybe the real author who has most likely gone on to better things!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Quite Trash Classic
Review: So what is this movie? A film noir homage(a la "Gun Crazy")? A Bonnie and Clyde homage? A Lifetime movie-of-the-week? Or is it just plain trash that falls just short of classic status. Drew Barrymore and James LeGros earnestly play the trailer park trash nymphette and her prison pen pal turned partner in crime, respectively. The movie engages your attention throughout. What it lacks are those over-the-top moments that a movie like this needs to attain that midnight movie trash classic status. There is some interesting casting here. Billy Drago (he played Frank Nitti in "The Untouchables") as the trailer-park preacher. Tracey Walter, veteran of Jonathan Demme films, appears here as a barroom patron. Joe D'Allesandro, veteran of Andy Warhol films and the Sonny Steelgrave segment of TV's "Wiseguy", appears as Barrymore's mother's boyfriend.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good little movie
Review: This is a gem of a movie with a great performance from Drew Barrymore. It was another one of her comeback movies, filmed after "Poison Ivy". The story revolves around a teenager ( Barrymore ) who has been abused all her life. She becomes pen pals with a convict ( James LeGros ), who is guncrazed. To impress him she takes up shooting guns. With this new found power in her hands she shoots one of her abusers. When LeGros finally gets out, they bury the body and wind up killing two more people. They are then on the run from the cops. A must see for any Drew fan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: gripping and well acted.
Review: When i first saw this film i could not belive that Drew Barrymore was capable of true acting talent. Most of the films she has done to this day are about aldolescent subjects. Here she plays with more conviction being an abused girl who falls for the wrong guy and end up on the wrong side of the law. Some tense moments and overall a well done film.
