Unbeknownst to him, a gang called Skizm is running a deadly competition within his city in which complete strangers fight to the death for the entertainment of an online audience of millions. Miles soon finds himself caught up in the game and forced to fight in a battle to the death. Initially, Miles' lifetime of running from his problems pays off as he manages to elude his first opponent but when Nova is kidnapped, he must finally stop running and overcome his fears to fight for the girl he loves.
Likes: Holy Cow i never would have thought Daniel Radcliffe would do a film like this, ya he's done some crazy films since Harry potter but nothing like this film. To put it politely as i can this is a balls to wall ultra violent dead pool comic book style gun play where body drop left, right and centre in a purge style under world game.
Holy cow this film gets violent, Miles (Daniel) simple man just trying to live his life, find fun in his work trolling the trolls online, until he trolled the wrong person and end up in a underworld killer hunter called Skizm he's only way out is to fight or die.
Im not sure what some people were actually thinking going in to this film with some of the review thinking this would be intelligent film, when clear this film is show complete mindless ultra violent fun and entertainment that i can see being a cult classic for some demographic audiences.
The story is surprisingly fun and the directing on point with excellent cinematography and VFX, with a great sound track that fit well for this style of film. While i condone violence in any form, Guns Akimbo is pretentious enough in show this obsessive need for violence in society, where some people seem to off it online as well as the stupid trolling bullshit which adds to the wrongs in society.
While i could complain of the violence but Dead pool film is similar to this film so i cant really complain, i would go as far to say this is pretty good for a switch you brain off film, with it entertainment value and good action moments this might appeal to some audience.
Dislikes: Im not gonna pretend this film doesn't have flaws there are some bad dialogue at time from certain character but this had just enough entertainment to keep you watching.
Overall: Ultra violent, Darkly entertaining in a dead pool style gun violent film
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8.2 out of 10 for the style of the film.
