Production
The film is set in France, but was shot in Romania, New Orleans and Atlanta, Georgia in August–September 2015. Waxman said the film was "very different Seagal movie than Killing Salazar - this one is more like The Keeper. Steven in suits being chased by cool French bad guys - like an Elmore Leonard story (think Out of Sight). Steven and Jade Ewen are a great crime film couple on a double crossing heist. Florin Piersic Jr. from "Killing Salazar" chasing after them. Simple and cool story this time around."{{cite web|url=http://www.steven-seagal.net/xen/index.php?threads/interview-updates-keoni-waxman.12730/page-7|title=Post on Interview thread from Keoni Waxman|date=September 14, 2015|website=Steven-seagal.net}}
Reception
Eoin at TheActionElite.com gave the film 2/5 and wrote: "Director Keoni Waxman seems to be the only filmmaker who can get Seagal to nearly put in some effort and compared to much of his other recent movies End of a Gun is mildly less painful to sit through."{{cite web |date= June 14, 2017 |author= Eoin |title= End of a Gun (2016) Review |url= https://theactionelite.com/end-of-a-gun-2016-review/ |website= theactionelite.com }}
