This is like one of those fake movies you’d see posters of in the background of Drake & Josh. But this one is real. And it’s almost unwatchable. Talked about this extensively on the Karstcast.
KarstenFeb 24, 2020not once references the twenty one pilots song 'guns for hands' i cant help but feel this was based on

adamboltSep 25, 2020I pee while using guns as my hands ALL THE TIME and it’s not nearly as hard as they made it seem
jeffborislowFeb 28, 202019 A dumpster-fire ripoff mix of Taylor/Neveldine's Gamer and Nerve made by someone who's probably only seen The Boondock Saints and Deadpool on a loop. Stay far far away.

clearly thinks it's doing The Running Man meets like idk Scott Pilgrim i guess? either way it's honestly much closer to Wanted lol and with any luck, it will be destined for the same $1 dvd bin that that one can exclusively be found in now. some truly bottom-barrel joke…
Josh LewisMar 8, 2020Wants to be CRANK, is closer to SHOOT EM UP. Samara Weaving innocent.
matt lynchFeb 28, 2020Guns Akimbo doesn’t take a lot of time to breathe, and that’s crazy, since the lead has severe asthma. The pace is frantic, and perhaps it is 100% coincidence Daniel Radcliffe’s character resembles Robert Pattinson in Good Time. Both films belong to the frantic genre, but…

6.7/10
Jack O'Connor is "meh" onGuns Akimbothe title of this movie is infuriatingly sticky. can’t get it out of my head. “Guns Akimbo,” I mumble to myself. “Guns Akimbo,” as I struggle out of bed in the morning. People will be talking to me and I won’t be present, I’m just thinking “Guns Akimbo” Haven’t seen the movie.
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onGuns AkimboAt first it wasn’t all that great, but I liked how it made fun of most of the action tropes that we’re used to seeing. The last 30 minutes is what makes this film worthwhile. Overall, it’s a fun little distraction that shows flashes of potential, but just doesn’t quite reach it.

So much insane stuff happening all at once, but it worked because the pacing never let up and kept things entertaining. Is it the most high art cinema? Not at all, but as a watching for fun, did the job well
EliseLace likedGuns AkimboIt was a classic funny, action movie and with Daniel Radcliffe whom I love. I didn’t feel fully engaged the entire movie, and not a big rewatch movie for me, but it was still fun and entertaining!
Larissa lovedGuns AkimboThis movie was definitely something. Funny and witty but also a bit disorienting with some Of the camera work. But all in all enjoyed most of it. Gave me a more hardcore Nerve vibe

I’ll watch anything with Radcliffe in it. It seemed like a social commentary at first but then chaos ensued. Fun stupid chaos. But if a trash film but I like em like that.
amel likedGuns AkimboReally good movie ! For me if you liked nerve, american nightmare and violent night, you’re likely to enjoy this movie because for me it’s a mix of those three.
Christabel likedGuns AkimboThis was a good movie a better version of nerve. It was witty funny and gory. Not Harry Potter with an American accent lol, he did a great job.

Writer-director Jason Lei Howden’s humor might have been tolerable if his film was at least reasonably imaginative.

With an unhinged Weaving chewing the scenery as Nix and a perfectly cast Radcliffe doing his best to survive while also finding it impossible to keep Miles’ snarky thoughts in his brain out of his mouth, it’s hard not to be entertained.

The ingredients for an engagingly ridiculous action pic are here, but the pacing's all wrong.
