Guns Akimbo

There's definite cheap fun to be had here, just try not to go in with expectations too high. This was potential wasted, but at least we always have 'Deathgasm' to fall back on. - Jess Fenton Read Jess' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-guns-akimbo-just-like-harry-potter-but-with-guns-and-more-violence-not-really

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com As it becomes more and more common nowadays, I have to start this review by stating that no controversy surrounding this film affected my opinion in any way. I’m feeling a bit exhausted about the fact that almost every movie has some sort of external problem entirely unrelated to its story or characters. You can watch whatever you want, no one will make you watch this or that film. As long as you don’t purposefully give a negative review based on something that has nothing to do with the movie itself, I’m fine with people skipping them. That said… I really enjoyed Guns Akimbo!

I've made no secret about my opinions on Samara Weaving, but I was more than willing to give _Guns Akimbo_ a chance anyway. I wouldn't say I regret that decision, but I was underwhelmed.

It's so desperately ~~edgy~~, in a way that tries to emulate works I do love, but goes too far too clumsily.

Great watch, will likely watch again, and do recommend. Such a great, yet equally awful premise, it affords some top notch ridiculous abuse humor mixed with some of the most fun and fulfilling action I've seen in quite some time. Playing a guy that piss off the wrong guy on the internet, Danielle Radcliffe (Harry Potter) embodies the spirit of desperation, and he does so much with it, given that he literally can't answer his phone or open a door, since his hands are now guns. Samara Weaving ("The Babysitter"), really knocks her role out of the park. Madder than Harley Quinn, she not only does a superb action sequence work, but she makes it look fun as well. The story is a little complex, but the way it is framed turns it transitions of over the top ridiculous scenarios as th
