This had the potential to be a gem but ultimately it's just okay. Radcliffe, Weaving, and Dennehy all do a fantastic job. The writing and cinematography are what holds this movie back from being anything better than average.

The tone of the movie jumps from comedy to satire to surreal to action. The action is hyper-cut and doesn't flow. The acting is on point if the intent of the movie was satire.

I give Daniel Radcliffe the credit for doing so many diverse roles but he needs to start selecting better.

This frantic mix of Hardcore Harry and Nerve barely makes it.
It's entertaining for some moments but the juice runs out after a while.

Let me start by saying that you get to briefly see Daniel Radcliffe full frontal here, however it is a prosthetic. I’m not sure if that’s a spoiler or possibly the only reason you might have to give this a viewing. It’s not a great movie, butLet me start by saying that you get to briefly see Daniel Radcliffe full frontal here, however it is a prosthetic. I’m not sure if that’s a spoiler or possibly the only reason you might have to give this a viewing. It’s not a great movie, but it was very entertaining. I’d say that the overall ratings across the board from critics to users is pretty accurate. The acting is not very believable and there are some issues with how in one scene a character is a never miss a shot badass, practically taking on a small army, to being completely unable to hit a single squatting target from 15 feet. I get that if they had it would have ended the movie in 15 minutes, but there could have been a better way to mitigate this. As violent as this movie is, and it is very violent, the gore never comes across as “real” opting for mostly digital blood with few practical effects. I’m not sure if this was a choice for the overall style of the movie as there is a narrative parallel to video game esque violence and how “we the viewers” are are becoming desensitized and thus worse as members of society. That doesn’t track. The few side plots here don’t track either and as a result I didn’t care about anyone in this movie. Not a single character is actually developed beyond the lead. While I’m glad I watched it I can’t honestly say it’s worth a watch. Expand

This movie is perfectly acceptable as a popcorn flick. The premise that it sets up is an interesting one but I don't necessarily think that it was fully fledged out or realistic in its execution.

The premise that it sets up is an interesting one but I don't necessarily think that it was fully fledged out or realistic in its execution. Daniel Radcliffe pretty decently portrayed a nobody in my eyes and watching him try to do ordinary things while having guns bolted to his hands is pretty funny. But a lot of the pursuit and combat sequences are jumpy and feel a bit one sided. Overall it's a pretty goofy movie and doesn't necessarily need to be watched, but it could serve well as a movie night with friends popcorn flick. Expand

Неплохой трешачок. Сюжет очень простой. Из игры актеров понравился только Редклифф

My new favorite actress stars in it Samara Weaving of Ready or not along with the oddly charming Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter. The trailer showcases anime style violence, a weird video gamish plot and R RATING for extreme violence and gore. But somehow for the first 2/3 it just doesn't gel together. The setup concerns a loser type young man who does alot of hate blogging and ends up pissing off the creators of an online running man type gameshow. He awakes from being assaulted with two guns fused to his hands and the surviving gamer (Weaving) on the hunt for him. The movie is action packed but for the first half it doesn't connect. When it does it becomes a unique ultra violent, cartoonish cinematic experience. Although it's not great there's definitely enough here to merit a light reccomendation.

3.25/5

This movie is basically like Crank and Nerve smashed into each other at 100mph and had a baby. It isn't as good as Crank, but it is better than Nerve and still a ton of fun.

Fun little film that has it’s moments. The story is interesting but suffers from weak writing. Things people say can be cringey and eye rolling.

Things people say can be cringey and eye rolling. It is a very cheesy movie, one that felt like I had to turn my brain off and not question anything. Guns Akimbo is not a must watch film by any stretch, but if you are just looking for something to throw on in the background and haven't seen this, then it should be fine. Expand
