Guns Akimbo (2019) follows the story of a man who gets forced to take part in a violent battle that will be streamed on the dark web where he is tasked to kill a woman with much more skills than him. I was pretty impressed by this film! It was a lot of fun!
In terms of visuals, this film had it all. I loved the graphics that appeared on screen near the start as they immediately caught my eye. The film also had some vibrant colour palettes and intense and crazy cinematography and editing which fit the tone of the movie. I liked the character designs and costuming too! Nix looked absolutely amazing.
It had a brilliant soundtrack that was upbeat and high-energy, and fit the movie very well. I also liked the narration, some of the humour appealed to me however most didn’t! But, I totally understand the appeal of it and the narration was great nonetheless.
The movie is crazy from the get-go, and was a pretty original concept which was a lot of fun and consistently interesting which meant I didn’t get bored at all while watching! Even the ending lived up to the standard set by the build-up. In a lot of ways, this movie reminds me of Spree (2020) which is a film I love dearly. The high-energy and unhinged, feral pacing is so similar!
Guns Akimbo truly excels with it’s acting and characters. Daniel Radcliffe gets to show his range perfectly which is nice to see! The characters are introduced in a nice, fun way and although Miles is rather unlikeable at first, I think this was intentional. It’s always nice to see a genuinely awkward and flawed character that isn’t glamorised. I also loved the character of Nix, she was a badass and her death was insanely heroic and fit her perfectly. I think Miles and Nix made a great team.
4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
