Guns Akimbo


An ordinary guy suddenly finds himself forced to fight a gladiator-like battle for a dark website that streams the violence for viewers. In order to survive and rescue his kidnapped ex-girlfriend, he must battle Nix, a heavily armed and much more experienced fighter.
This one? Just fun. Pure, unfiltered, neon drenched mayhem. I didn’t expect much going in, maybe a few laughs, some over the top action, but what I got was a bullet fueled fever dream that felt like Crank, Scott Pilgrim and The Running Man had a baby raised on energy drinks and Reddit flame wars.
Daniel Radcliffe, bless him, throws himself into the role of Miles, a keyboard warrior who wakes up with guns bolted to his hands and a bounty on his head.
It’s absurd, it’s loud and it knows exactly what it is.
Samara Weaving’s Nix is a punk rock terminator with eyeliner and zero chill and every scene she’s in is a blast of chaos and charisma.
The film doesn’t waste time on subtlety.
It’s all about speed, style and snark.
The editing is caffeinated, the soundtrack is relentless and the violence is cartoonishly gleeful.
It’s not trying to be deep, it’s trying to be a good time. And it succeeds.
