“Toy Gun” (**1/2 out of four) was a scattershot but entertaining black comedy about a down-on-his-luck loser (Luke Allen Gale) who robs a bank with the title toy gun and seeks refuge and advice from his wisened neighbor (Anthony LaPaglia) while a burned-out police detective (Julian Sands) and the weaselly bank manager (John Hannah) are on his trail. Good cast and storytelling keep you watching as film bounces between dark comedy and an underworld melodrama but it never quite takes flight. Similar in style and story elements to Guy Ritchie’s “Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch”.
