The Way of the Gun<\/em>\u2019 Commentary<\/a>.\u00a0 As usual, before you click over, here are three of my favorites and thoughts to go with each…<\/p>\nMcQuarrie was \u201cvery resistant\u201d to casting Phillippe, but the actor wouldn\u2019t take no without the opportunity for a meeting. <\/strong> (When McQuarrie asked Phillippe why he wanted to be in his small film instead of a higher profile project, Phillippe’s response that he wanted to be an actor, not a movie star was classic!\u00a0 I love Phillippe’s persistence and attitude towards his craft. – Craig)<\/p>\nThe kidnapping scene sees lots of collateral in the form of dead or wounded people in both the foreground and background. McQuarrie points out the couple in the car at 17:43 \u2014 \u201ca guy crying over his dead wife with three bullets in the windshield\u201d \u2014 and says it\u2019s all meant to leave viewers questioning who their loyalty is aimed towards.<\/strong> (One of the things I really like about Way of the Gun<\/em> is that the two leads aren’t movie star bad guys.\u00a0 You know, bad guys that are really good at heart or misunderstood.\u00a0 These guys aren’t heroes. – Craig)<\/p>\n\u201cThe character is a survivor,\u201d said James Caan about his character Joe Sarno, \u201cI want to show what he survived.\u201d The result was a highlighting of the scars on his face and neck.<\/strong> (There are a lot of great lines in Way of the Gun and James Caan’s character gets his fair share.\u00a0 One of my favorites: “The only thing you can guess about a broken down old man is that he is a survivor<\/em>.”\u00a0– Craig)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I recently posted about my love for Way of the Gun.\u00a0 It’s got a great cast and was written\/directed by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,51,54,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-crime","category-movies","category-trivia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28033"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28034,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28033\/revisions\/28034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
