Gunshy Reviews:
Disc Defective 
2008-07-15 - Just as others have mentioned - my DVD does not work. I am hoping the next one will!
Bad disc ruins movie
2007-11-13 - Amazon is the 3rd vendor I have tried to buy this movie from and all copies I got including the one from Amazon were bad. Something seriously was wrong and the disc wouldn't play at all in DVD player or on my computer.
Defective DVD
2006-07-06 - I've tried to get this dvd twice and the dvd was defective both times.
Damaged DVD
2006-03-09 - After attempting to order this four times and each time receiving a defective DVD, I stopped trying to purchase this item.
Great little 'noir' film in spite of the pandering ... 
2005-06-24 - OK first a 'neg' comment .... The tile of this film is so so wrong .... the cover blurb on the cover of a movie about 'Cold Blooded Killers' is wrong and even the picture of the two male leads holding guns is wrong too .... Whats with the gun thing here ... very little gunplay in this movie .. most of it was physical violence on torture .... So probably the producers tried to make this film seem like a ripoff of those 'Tarantino' Cold Blooded killer movies ....
This is a character study movie of a collector for the 'Irish' mob in Atlantic city befriending a down and out writer who seems to have lost his 'edginess' .....
Irrespective of the cold heartedness of the collector, the movie paints the Irish mob boss as so mean and vicious that we start to root for our hero. Seeing him walk into stores or restaurants and break legs of the people who have failed to pay almost becomes fun ....
Great great little film
