Three story lines make up this tense movie, and while each has its strengths, they don't quite add up to a satisfying whole...Many scenes in these stories are satisfyingly gripping; they're rounded out by sharp performances by Whitaker, Harden and a young Christopher Marquette (Harden's character's son). Poignant moments emerge, too, as when we see a lonely African American teen listening to Johnny Cash songs behind a flimsy grill at his dangerous gas station job. - John McMurtrie
Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
"American Gun" tells three stories that are small, even quiet. The stories are not strident but sad, and one of them is open-ended. They are about people who find that guns in the hands of others have made their own lives almost impossible to live..."American Gun" is a first feature by Aric Avelino, who co-wrote it with Steven Bagatourian. He shows an almost tender restraint in his story-telling, not pounding us with a message but simply looking steadily at how guns have made these lives difficult. - Roger Ebert
