Black Gunn

Hilariously funky blaxploitation blast! There's enough material here to fill about 40 minutes at most, but bless'em they stretch this badass motherfucker out for a near 110 super-fly minutes.

Black Gunn falls into that unfortunate spot of not bad enough to be incompetently entertaining and not good enough to be engaging. It's slow with little amounts of action throughout. Lots of N-words and other slurs to indicate who the baddies are, and Gunn is the coolest, sexiest, and most successful black man to walk to the earth. Everyone wants to be him and everyone wants to be with him. It makes for a boring lead. it's firmly a blaxploitation film and its genre trappings give it some charm.
