Gunless

Gunless is harmless, the sort of pop entertainment that sets its sights low and doesn't underachieve.

A comedy western loaded with chuckles that only occasionally fires blanks.

Like Shane with whimsy, Gunless takes the hoary old template of the gunfighter movie and gives it an utterly Canadian spin based on our comfort myth of niceness.

Gunless is certainly eager to please. Yet for all of its broad humour and cheeky pleas to patriotism, the laughs in this comedy prove to be scarcer than teeth in Gabby Hayes' head.
