 Take Guns Akimbo for what it is: a shooter turned into a film. Or a sort of black comedy that stumbles along fueled by hits of poppers.

Guns Akimbo offers a chaotic, action-filled ride with some cheeky humor but fails to deliver originality or a memorable story.

The movie might appeal to casual viewers, especially those familiar with similar cult or arcade-style films. Check out Guns Akimbo for a wild and cheeky action ride with Daniel Radcliffe—fun if you enjoy chaotic black comedy and arcade-style violence!
