Moviegoers are saying
"Guns Up" emerges as a polarizing direct-to-streaming action-comedy that divides audiences between those charmed by Kevin James and Christina Ricci's unexpected chemistry and those frustrated by its derivative plot and inconsistent tone. While most critics pan its thin storyline and poorly staged action sequences, there's surprising consensus that the film works better as a "turn your brain off" streaming experience than a theatrical release.

Guns Up is the kind of movie you scroll past on a streaming service, take a chance on because of the cast, and walk away thinking, “That was better than I expected.” It stars Kevin James, Christina Ricci, and Luis Guzmán, and it plays things pretty straight—not a full…

I really tried to like this film, God knows I tried, but I didn't get this miracle. Despite being an action-comedy film, genres I really enjoy, the story is so flat that neither the comedic actors nor the action actors could save this terrible film. It's definitely not a…
Gerardo FabreJan 10, 2026Generic action-comedy with a bald, hitman variant of Kevin James. Slightly better than you might expect but still kinda shitty 35/100 2025 Ranking

Guns up — the universal signal for 'I’ve got nothing intelligent to say. If Christina Ricci would be me wife, I'd be a hitman too.
One Godfella 侍Jul 6, 2025Despite the 'John Wick' name drop, Guns Up feels more like a discount Nobody than anything. Ricci's a delightful presence during the lively third act, at least!

- zxki is "meh" onGuns Up
Meh. Not bad, but not as good as some of the others in its genre. It's like a bad blend up of "John Wick", "Nobody", and "Paul Blart", but I think it's aware because you can feel the "John Wick" joke coming from a mile. I will say though, the plot twist did get me, and it was easily my favourite…
Sugama likedGuns UpA nice ~cool~ family watch if theres preteens involved, pretty funny… this is the coolest KJ has ever looked in a movie or show (from what I’ve seen tbh) but it was very much action packed and fun… like a hybrid of mr & mrs smith and the incredibles lol would watch the sequel 🫶🏻
MrLukesGames dislikedGuns UpWatched August 16th 2025 - 1.3/5⭐️ Dear god this movie was bad. Predictable and I have no idea how Christina Ricci played such a bad role in this and how she was able to take out 50 henchmen alone at one stage. Storyline wasn’t strong, random mixed casting, poor movie overall
- Kieran Hudson likedGuns Up
Holding potential for both a sequel and perhaps a buddy-cop spinoff, this film delivers nicely on the trope of “character is scarily good at new job” whilst providing some actual reason for it. All in all, good family flick with room for more fun. Solid 7/10😁
Caleb Boyer likedGuns UpFun action movie, most people would find it interesting to see Kevin James in an action but don’t worry there is still plenty of comedy
Gregory Dahms likedGuns UpPaul Blart and the chick from Casper are both secretly assassins. Casper chick is better at keeping secrets.
- Abby is "meh" onGuns Up
Pretty boring I expected better than that, the only good thing in the movie is that Christina Ricci in it
Tim Gailey likedGuns UpGood movie, pretty good plot. Would recommend watching, has its funny moments for sure
Brian watched_neutraldGuns UpWish it was better. Wasn’t very well written. Kevin has done better movies.
