The Review: Guns Akimbo



Guns Akimbo 5/10

I saw that this crazy ass movie Guns Akimbo was on Amazon today and checked it out. I saw the trailer last year and was like “What the fuck is this?!” It looked fun. And it is. This is a ninety minute action scene. There is this dude named Riktor that runs a program called Skizm. People are “recruited” and fight to the death. He current champion is this insane ass woman named Nix. Miles is a game programmer/vegan/pacifist who has fun finding trolls and just fighting with them online. One day while on Skizm and talking shit they find his IP and his address. They show up, knock him out, and he wakes up with a gun nailed and drilled into his hands. He is told he has to compete and go up against Nix. This was a fun movie but it got exhausting after about halfway through. It looked great. Visually this was like a really cool music video. Had cool music. And I liked most of the characters. But I would have liked to see the characters a bit more developed. Felt like a more violent version of Nerve. Nothing much else to say. Lots of shooting and hardcore killings.
