Where to Watch Guns Up
- Spanktacular2 September 2025Mediocre movie aside, this smells like that middle-aged scumbag with three kids that he has supervised visits with every other weekend, who's always rambling on about how he would do "anything for my kids" and how "family is everything". That's who this is for. The one with tattoos he did himself and who unironically posts how "lions don't care about sheep" in boomer meme format.
- John Homen21 February 2026Slightly darker Paul blart meets Joan wick fan fiction. Not great, but not terrible, Christina Ricci carries the movie and keeps this from 1 star levels of "why, why did we make this." Plots ok, dialog is stale with a few exceptions, good movie for beer and pizza night. Watch it to see Ricci in a fun action role, if only for the final scenes.
- HeyJeay30 November 2025Review: Guns Up – or, “Kevin James Has Clocked Out and So Should You” From the first five minutes, you can practically feel Kevin James’s soul leaving his body. Not in a dramatic, Oscar-worthy way—more like a “man who’s been stuck in a Costco line for 40 minutes and has accepted his fate” kind of way. He looks tired. He looks exhausted. He looks like the director told him, “We’ll fix it in post,” and he simply whispered, “Please do.” The action? Limp. The jokes? Wheezing. The plot? I’ve seen IKEA instructions with more emotional depth. By the halfway mark, I wasn’t even mad anymore—I was just concerned. Kevin James moves like he’s contractually obligated to stay awake on camera. Every scene feels like he’s trying to remember if he left the oven on at home. And as I kept watching, my brain started creating its own entertainment: a mental cutaway to a family sitting on their couch, absolutely roasting every frame of this movie. Dad doing Kevin James impressions. Mum pointing out continuity errors no one cared enough to fix. Kids asking, “Why does he look like he wants to go home?” Grandma wondering why she can’t change the channel. The dog yawning louder than the script. By the end, the imaginary family was having a way better time than I was. Honestly, I was rooting for them. They deserved better. Kevin James deserved a nap. And Guns Up deserved… well… maybe just a polite “nice try.” If you’re looking for a movie that’s so bad it inspires full-on family bonding through mutual disappointment, congratulations—you’ve found the perfect watch. Finally, where are the fucking cops?.. like seriously. save yourselves.. Let Kevin James sleep
