Anybody seen this? Or even heard about it?

It's by Scorsese so it should be good, right?

I think I'll try to check it out this weekend.

Interesting.

It reminds me of Shoot Em Up and I loved Shoot Em Up.

Kind of a retro 70s-early 80s vibe.

That rifle looked like one of them FAMAE rifles.....were they available back then?

If they do retro gun movies, I'd love to see more AR-180s.

Stellar cast looks to be hilarious!

Thanks for the heads up and jfyi Scorsese is producing not directing.

The assault rifle is a Beretta SC-70. Huge points for gun pornage!

'' Ensemble cast" and a director in his twilight screams disaster.

Judging by the trailer, this is either going to be a great movie in the vein of some of the classics, or one of those "so WTF" movies you'll wonder if the entire cast and crew was on crack... :laugh:
Not sure how they'll get at least an hour and a half out of 8 idiots having a shootout in a warehouse, but.... stranger things have happened.

Saw it tonight and enjoyed it. By no means was it Oscar worthy story telling but good entertainment. No political undertones or messages, just a deal that goes wrong and everyone loses.

I think it's worth your time for just general entertainment.

He's hit or miss. Looks like silly fun, but that's about it. When I see sparks flying off wooden crates etc from gun fire, I know suspension of disbelief a must to enjoy it at all

It's got Thomas Shelby, aka Cillian Murphy, I may give it a watch.

Ben Wheatley is the director, this is only his fifth feature length film.

But it is sold as a Scorsese film, but he is a producer.

I'll give them this much, they kept the guns limited to their respective capacities. 1911's held to 8 shots, revolvers to 5 & 6 depending on model. Even had to clear some malfunctions.
They did seem to bring a lot of reloads with them though.

I didn't pay close attention to the AR-70 but it seemed like they kept it to 30rnds.
