Plot: A new, ultra-violent app called Skizm is taking the online world by
storm - pitting the worst of humanity against each other, and always to
the death. Mild-mannered programmer by day and social justice warrior
behind the keyboard Miles decides to troll the trolls - only to wake up
with guns grafted to his hands as well as being the next target of
Skizm's top killer, the insane Nix. With his ex-girlfriend thrown into
the mix, Miles will have to learn to make the most of his weapons in
order to save her and take down Skizm in the process - but first, pants. -- Chris Kavan

I though Hardcore Henry would be the most video-game like movie of all time (after all, it was shown entirely in first person) but Guns Akimbo, with its eye towards toxic internet cultures is like GTA brought to life with an absurdity that must be seen to believe. Plus, it's a lot of fun - violent, over-the-top type of fun - but just great. Who knew Harry Potter with Guns strapped to his hands and a badass, crazy Samara Weaving could be such a fun trip, Plus you get a scene-stealing Rhys Darby as well - just make sure you're not eating hotdogs at the time.

I would have shot you in the dick,
if the target wasn’t so small.

“Guns Akimbo” is simply too absurd for words. It’s absolute nonsense and you shouldn’t take it too seriously. It’s simply “over the top” pulp and looks as if it’s based on some Asian comic strip. But believe me. This film is simply top-notch entertainment. A roller coaster that slowly takes a very steep run-up and then crashes into the depth with a breakneck-speed, shaking you back and forth. And this crazy, hyperkinetic ride lasts until the end. The action scenes with Nix (Samara Weaving) are equivalent to those in “John Wick“. Flashy editing. Blood splattering when bullets rip apart human flesh in slow motion. And all this under the guidance of an energetic soundtrack where you will hear amongst …
