Guns Akimbo

Film (Trailer) – 2019

It's not over till I say it's over...
– Skism enforcer Riktor (Ned Dennehy) lays down the law

Look this is going to sound really f***ing weird but can you help me? I have guns bolted to my hands.
– Miles (Daniel Radcliffe) wakes up to a whole new reality

That's one of the reasons I really wanted to do this film; because I love action movies and I really enjoy watching them but it's very rare that I read a script for one where I'm like, 'Oh yeah, I believe myself as this character.' But with this one I absolutely believed me as this guy who does not want any part of this and is being forced into it. I just immediately was like, 'Oh that's a version of an action movie that I can exist in quite comfortably'.

...that combination of gritty pastiche with ultra-fast-paced violence and laughs gives a B-movie feel to Guns Akimbo. And I mean that in a good way – it has that lovely not-too-polished rough-around-the-edges feeling of maybe being something you can only watch in a dirty arthouse theatre on a certain day at a weird time. It doesn’t take itself too seriously: the violence is tempered with laughs...
