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

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. I'm going to use a term here that I have not used unironically in... God, maybe, genuinely, over a decade, because I don't know how else to describe _Guns Akimbo_: _Guns Akimbo_ is fuckin' **tryhard**. It's so desperately ~~edgy~~, in a way that tries to emulate works I do love, but goes too far too clumsily. I didn't hate it, at all, but I was very **aware** of what this movie was trying to be, where a better film might have kept me to entertained to notice. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

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 things escalate. If you like great action, good reveals, psychotic characters, and/or insane survival situations, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this.
