Guns Akimbo Storyline

Miles is stuck in a dead-end programming job. Still in love with his ex-girlfriend Nova, he spends his waking hours between pining for her and scouring the internet as a social-justice troll, cowardly leaving anonymous insults to those who post objectionable content online. Meanwhile a cyber-gang, called Skizm, is running an ultra-violent game across his city, in which violent criminals fight to the death for the entertainment of an online audience of millions. Miles feels safe and secure insulting the sick audience of this game, but soon finds himself abducted and thrust into the game, forced to fight with an insane, gun-crazed, escaped lunatic. His only tools, but also his biggest handicap, are the two huge pistols that have been literally bolted onto his hands. Initially, Miles’ lifetime of running from his problems pays off as he – barely – manages to elude his seemingly unstoppable opponent, but when Nova’s life is threatened unless he takes an active part in the game, he must finally stop running and overcome his fears to fight for the girl he loves.

Guns Akimbo Movie Reviews

Brash, slick entertainment

A typical modern action comedy: brash, noisy, crude, seemingly directed by a hyperactive child. This makes the frequent action difficult to enjoy although there’s something to be said for the slickness of it all and the pop culture references which count for something. Daniel Radcliffe plays the lead as a kind of geeky character while Samara Weaving gets a lot more interesting femme fatale role. The plot and characters are paper thin while the rest is hyper stylised and completely over the top. I rather liked the colour scheme and comic book feel which reminded me of POLAR for instance, but the rest isn’t really my cup of tea.

fun for awhile

Slacker coder Miles Lee Harris (Daniel Radcliffe) is trying to get back with his ex Nova. He likes to troll other online trolls. He makes the wrong enemy in Skizm, an underground killing-for-entertainment society. They follow their leader Riktor in breaking into his apartment and knocking him out. He wakes up with two guns bolted to his hands. He receives texts telling him that he has 24 hours to kill expert player Nix (Samara Weaving).

The premise is fun but it can get repetitive and tiresome. It reminds me a lot of Crank which is a bit better than this. Radcliffe has this adorable personality which keeps the movie going for the first half. At some point, the concept wears thin and the movie loses the thread. I’m not sure if it’s Nix’s convoluted story or the unrelenting action grind. It stops mattering. So it’s fun for a good while and then it’s not.

Never bring a spork to a gunfight

For fans who loved the grindhouse action-comedy style of “Smokin’ Aces,” we have “Guns Akimbo.” Miles (Daniel Radcliffe ) is a mild-mannered pacifist who trolls the trolls. He gets flagged by a web page called “Skizm.” “Skizm” operates an illegal operation of having criminals and psychos kill each other. The top killer is a psycho named Nix (Samara Weaving) who has a Harley Quinn quality to her, without the silly garb. Her last kill is to be Miles who recently has undergone a body enhancement by having guns nailed to his hands. He is not happy about the situation but is coerced into the competition run by “The Starbucks of Murder.”

Miles’s use of an inhaler added a little something to his character. The action is inane by design. It uses cover songs of older music.
