Gun

If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Gun is available in Australia on Sun Nxt, and in the US on fuboTV and Philo right now. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 5/10 TMDB score, built from 107 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. 50 Cent leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. Start it on Sun Nxt whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Gun earns its spot. At its heart, Gun understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. The Detroit Police launches a full-scale war against gun runners with the cooperation of the Feds and target a criminal named Rich. When a gun exchange goes bad and Rich’s old friend Angel, steps up big time and saves his life, they form a bond that makes his supplier and lover, Gabriella paranoid. But there is a snitch in the group and Gabriella’s biggest deal goes bad only to have an even bigger secret revealed, one that rocks Rich to his core. 50 Cent and Val Kilmer lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2010. Gun is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Gun will keep you hooked. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. 50 Cent's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.
