AMERICAN GUN (2002)
ALAN JACOBS
Plot
Martin Tillman's daughter has her young life ended by the bullet from a Magnum handgun. Adrift in an ocean of heartbreak Martin attempts to bring some reason to his daughter's death by tracing the history of the gun that killed her. What follows is a tortuous human journey as Martin traces each owner of the weapon and the history they shared with it. American Gun is a powerful drama and a searing, but thoughtful, indictment of the American obsession with firearms. This was Coburn's last role and he delivers a performance worthy of his iconic status.
