Real-world and game-world collide in this riotous violent blast of a film that proves to be a highly entertaining ride. Reminiscent of the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink style of the Crank films, downtrodden Miles (Daniel Radcliffe) makes the mistake of trolling an online live-action game that pits people against each other to the death in the real world, and wakes up to find himself with guns surgically bolted to his hands and pitted against the formidable Nix (Samara Weaving) in a city-wide battle royale. Amongst the considerable carnage, there is plenty of dark humour, the action is relentless, Radcliffe not only shows off his acting ability but is clearly having a great time and Weaving absolutely eats up her role with great relish. You may or may not warm to this kind of film, but if you do then Guns Akimbo provides a real adrenalin-fuelled fun rush extremely well.
