Any time anyone fires bullets in an action movie that don't hit the target it immediately undermines the movie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know, I've never shot a gun in a movie.
It's like the old rule-if you introduce a gun into the first act of a play, it's going to be used in the third act. So if you do a movie about criminals, you have to accept there's going to be Some action.
That's one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you're done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
You never see a teaser for a film on television that doesn't have someone running around a corner with a gun. Have you noticed that?... I think Hollywood has as much responsibility for gun violence as the National Rifle Association.
On one hand, as a filmmaker, I don't want to make a movie with guns everywhere.
There's just certain things you don't think about to enjoy a film. Bullets in space are one of them.
I intentionally shoot violence to make the audience feel real pain. I have never and I will never shoot violence as if it's some kind of action video game.
I still like the run and gun action movies and how truly dangerous it can be to make these films.
All movies assault the viewer in one way or another.
I've always thought that guns are a cowardly tool in the hands of men and women trying to solve problems with each other. And cowardly in the hands of filmmakers. It's taken so lightly in films.
