Gun Crazy

Gun Crazy is breathless in its pacing and distinctive in its visual sensibility, featuring one of cinema's most memorable heist scenes, shot entirely in the back of a Cadillac while the robbery is occurring. Writing about Lewis for The New York Times, Scorsese and Jay Cocks remarked on how his films "pull the audience along with the actors and the action. They obliterate the separation between screen and spectator." It's as though we're on the lam with the doomed protagonists, sharing their anxieties, their frissons of excitement.
