I told you before, and I'll tell you again. If you're going to make a dumb B-movie, you pull out all the stops, you go crazy, you make that B mean "balls out". I think Guns Akimbo succeeds at that. The high concept premise has streaming assassins bolt guns onto Daniel Radcliffe's hands for daring to troll them online, and force him to participate in a city-wide duel with Samara Weaving's current champion. From there, pretty much anything can happen in this undeniably stylish dark action-comedy, and that's what we want. Think Crank, but with more likeable protagonists (plus Rhys Darby, and I can't help but be happy when Rhys Darby shows up in ANYthing). After years of passive video game playing, the game becomes real and you crap your pants is basically the deal here. Adversity is the fire in which we are forged, yadda-yadda, but really it's about violent gags and quoting your favorite pieces of pop culture. I also like that it has fun with its soundtrack - referencing U Can't Touch This then cuing up Super Freak is amusingly clever, c'mon. 3 years 5 months ago -

So much fun! Like a mix between Crank, Gamer and Shoot em’ Up. I love it! Both Radcliffe and Weaving are amazing 3 years 11 months ago
