although the critic may have be wishy washy when review this film and i have only one word go through my mind while watch it represent brilliant . this movie be excellently write and and outstanding performance be turn in by many of the performer . the most amazing of which be oliver platt . his portrayal of a mafia muscle man who be really a good guy at heart be both comedic and memorable . the story itself do a good job of show all the aspect of it protagonist chaotic life . each of these aspect develop humorously and nicely ( except his relationship with bullock character seem to begin abruptly ) and and be tie together for the film climax . all in all and gun shy be probably the first good comedy of the year 2000 ( which be not the new millenium and that start in 2001 ) .
