"Guns Akimbo" is about a real life deathmatch. But wait there is more to it. Daniel Radcliffe plays the shy nerd Miles who works as a programmer at daytime and goes hunting internet trolls during the night. The coding adventure reminds me of the beginning in "The Matrix". There are plenty of resemblances of some of my favourite movies in "Guns Akimbo" but it's all blended well together. Samara Weaving sure has had her share as the gore-driven wixen in "The Babysitter". Now she takes her looks that kill as a young girl who won't stop for nothing and she is in for that body count. Natasha Liu Bordizzo whom you might know from "Day Shift" is perfect for the Netflix rooster of young actresses. As Nova she is Miles' ex girlfriend and plays an important role 'til the very end.
Visually the film is full of neon colors which is totally a trip for the eyes. Cameras rolling upside down, a score packed with EDM which could come from a video game and funny lines make this mash-up of a trigger happy movie great entertainment for a Friday night.
