Every Mitchell And Webb Film And TV Project Ranked From Worst To Best

24. Gun Shy

Gun Shy falls into the trap of trying to be a parody of bad, over the top action films, but largely ends being just a bad, over the top action film, with some weak slapstick humour thrown in. The movie should be regarded as a cautionary tale in crowdfunded films, having raised its £1.9m budget through SyndicateRoom.

The film, which has a Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score of 0%, features David Mitchell as John Hardigger, an unlikely action hero who largely survives through extreme examples of good fortune and being very, very British. The movie was written by long time Mitchell and Webb collaborator Toby Davies.

The 2017 release features some real talent, with Antonio Banderas and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko both horribly miscast as the leads, portraying an ageing rocker and his kidnapped wife. Banderas’ Turk Henry then embarks on a painfully unfunny fish out of water rescue mission across South America.
