Judging A Movie By Its Poster. Judging A Book By Its Cover:
Are we glorifying the American gun culture in our movies? Or is the gun culture a natural extension of what we depict in our movies?

Lone Man With Gun: Weekend of Jan 23, 2015: Mortdecai, a Johnny Depp Flop
Even though the official movie posters for Mortdecai don't seem to feature anyone holding a gun in his hand, search deeper . . . Aha. The marketing people for this movie couldn't resist going to this tried and tired motif of man with a gun even if it looks like a satirical movie. Looks slapstick and a waste of good talent, although I'm beginning to question Johnny Depp's talent and movie choices at this point. Too one note.
