Award®-winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (The
Usual Suspects) makes his directorial debut with The Way
of the Gun, a twisting crime drama about two cold-blooded career
criminals who kidnap a surrogate mother and find themselves in
an escalating cycle of guns and mayhem.
Longtime partners Parker (Ryan Phillippe) and Longbaugh (Benicio
Del Toro) are hoping for a quick and non-violent pay-off when
they abduct Robin (Juliette Lewis), a young woman carrying the
child of a wealthy Southwestern couple. But kidnapping proves
to be much more complicated, logistically and psychologically,
than other felonies they've committed. Parker is increasingly
drawn to the mysterious Robin, whose imminent delivery date awakens
strong feelings in him. Tensions rise between Parker and Longbaugh,
a ruthlessly decisive man who knows Parker's sentimental impulses
could land them in big trouble. As the moment for the ransom
exchange approaches, Parker and Longbaugh must battle not only
well-armed opponents, but their own conflicted emotions as well.
The Way of the Gun also stars Taye Diggs, Nicky Katt and James
Caan.
