Thefilm had its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in New Zealand on 5 March 2020 by Madman Entertainment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic closing theatres worldwide, the film became available digitally on-demand less than three weeks after it was released theatrically.

Miles finally gets assertive by angrily pulling his guns after his continually condescending boss Zander insults him. Zander is shot in the head by Nix, who starts shooting up the office. Miles escapes in a stolen car and Nix chases him on a motorbike. Following a face-off where he again fails to reason with Nix, Miles calls Nova but sees Riktor kidnapping her. Miles phones the police and leaves his phone in a junkyard to provide the location. He then inadvertently interrupts a drug deal between two rival gangs. Nix shows up and starts gunning down thugs while trying to get to Miles. Miles accidentally makes his first kill, a gang lord who hunted him down.


Miles manages to secretly meet with Nix and tells her that Riktor murdered her father and kidnapped his ex-girlfriend. In her rage and desire for revenge, Nix agrees to a plan where they successfully stage a scene for Skizm's broadcast camera drones. She seemingly guns down Miles, who is actually wearing a bulletproof vest that he removed from Degraves. Henchmen recover Miles' body and transport him to Riktor's Skizm hideout. Nix joins Miles as they take down Riktor's henchmen, including Dane and Effie. A badly injured Nix sacrifices herself by detonating a suicide vest that blows up Fuckface and the rest of Riktor's men so Miles can survive. Riktor shoot Stanton while making his way to the rooftop with Nova.


At the rooftop, Riktor keeps shooting Miles, but the latter determinedly charges at Riktor and ultimately kill him not before Riktor tells Miles that Skizm has spread worldwide and is becoming a global franchise. After Riktor dies, Miles starts to collapse from massive blood loss while imagining a romantic reunion with Nova. However, Nova actually becomes frightened and goes into shock after seeing what Miles is turning into.


Some time later, Miles is scarred from his injuries, and while sitting in his car, he opens a file. He discovers a comic book written by Nova and learns that she is promoting Miles as a popular hero by writing a comic book based on their story. With Skizm spreading worldwide under new leaderships, Miles commits himself to do everything in his power to destroy the entire criminal organisation.


On 12 May 2017, it was announced that Daniel Radcliffe would be starring in Guns Akimbo by New Zealand director Jason Lei Howden, whose previous projects include the film Deathgasm. Felipe Marino and Joe Neurauter were also announced to be producing the film through Occupant Entertainment.[5] On 8 May 2018, Natasha Liu Bordizzo was added to the cast, starring opposite Radcliffe.[6] Filming was completed on-location and in-studio in Auckland and Munich.[7]


The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2019.[11] It also screened at Fantastic Fest on 19 September 2019.[12] Shortly afterwards, Saban Films acquired US distribution rights to the film.[13] It was released in Australia and the United States on 28 February 2020.[14] The film was released in New Zealand on 5 March 2020.[15]


A week prior to the film's release, director Jason Lei Howden drew criticism for a series of tweets targeted at online film critics, accusing them of online bullying and "attempted murder" of another critic.[16]


Despite speculation that the film's release would be delayed,[17] distributor Saban later released a statement confirming that the film would be released as planned, adding, "While we do not condone, agree or share Mr. Howden's online behaviour, which is upsetting and disturbing, we are supportive of the film and all the hard work and dedication that has gone into making Guns Akimbo."[18]


John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "The ingredients for an engagingly ridiculous action pic are here, but the pacing's all wrong."[21]Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote: "This undeniably slick, energetic contraption plays somewhere between grating and numbing."[22]


Five seconds into the Gun Akimbo trailer I stopped it. I'd seen all I needed to see, this looked like a film that could be right up my alley. That's when the (rather long) wait started. Covid happened so a theater release seemed out of the question, I didn't hold my breath for streaming options either as Belgium is traditionally lagging in that regard. Luckily the good old physical market came to the rescue and Jason Lei Howden's second feature finally became an option. It's a good thing I never finished that trailer, I prefer to go in as blank as possible with films like these and Guns Akimbo really delivers.


Guns Akimbo is maximalist cinema. It's a term that's gaining a lot of traction these days and I'm more than happy to add to its bolstering popularity. Maximalist cinema is a categorization that doesn't focus on genre, rather it takes style and energy into account, grouping together films that are loud, extremely colorful, sporting lots of visual detail, deliberate camera work, excessive use of filters and whatnot. It doesn't matter whether it's a musical, hardcore action flick or wacky comedy, as long as it's extravagant and outrageous, it belongs. As it turns out, it's a pretty good blanket term for the type of films I like.


Howden aims for a pure action film here, though adds strong comedy influences, overt gaming aesthetics and some minor horror elements to make it more fun. If you want comparisons, think of films like Crank, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World and Shoot 'em Up. Colorful, adrenaline-driven and cheerful action flicks that don't even bother to try and tell a serious story, instead they focus on creativity, excitement and kinetics. That's not going to be to everyone's taste, but it's exactly how I prefer my action cinema.


The plot revolves around Miles, a somewhat pathetic game developer whose evening entertainment consists of going online and trolling others. That is, until one day he messes with the wrong guys. When he enters the Skizm website (a real life, streamed, game to the death) and starts his regular moral crusade, the Skizm guys strike back. They track him down, drug him, bolt some guns to his hands and drop him in the middle of their game. His only way out is to kill Nix, a female champion who is raking up the kills and has a daunting track record. Meanwhile, Miles can't even put on his own pants with the guns attached this his hands.


Maximalist cinema is all about style, so be warned that Guns Akimbo is quite the visual spectacle. Onscreen animation, excessive slow-motion, hyper-editing, nauseating camera work, color explosions, there's always something demanding attention here. Howden went all in which is sure to push some people away, personally I welcome the energy and vibrancy that drips from its every pore. The execution is also flawless. Not sure how Howden secured the budget, but technically it looks extremely accomplished, a big step up from his first film.


The soundtrack tries to accomplish something similar, but isn't quite as successful. The music is a little too poppy, even when Howden picks edgier versions of familiar songs (like 3Teeth's You Spin Me Round). Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack isn't bad and it works well in combination with the visuals. It's also obvious that time and effort went into editing them together for increased effect, but the music itself simply isn't crunchy and badass enough to match the visuals. While the intentions are good and the technical execution is solid, a better selection of tracks would've made a big difference.


I've got no complaints about the casting though. Daniel Radcliffe has been working really hard to shed his Potter image and his role in Guns Akimbo is another step in the right direction (after taking on remarkable roles in Horns and Swiss Army Man). But it's Samara Weaving who stands out the most. After striking performances in The Babysitter and Ready or Not, she's quickly establishing herself as one of the most kick-ass women in genre cinema today. The secondary cast is pretty great too, with Ned Dennehy delivering an insane villain and a truly hilarious cameo of Rhys Darby to look forward to.


Guns Akimbo is a film that takes a flying start. There's only a very short intro, after that Howden jumps right into the action. The biggest challenge for films like these is keeping up that energy and creativity and not playing all their best cards in the first half hour. Howden finds a good balance, inserting only a handful scenes where things slow down a little (smartly cushioned by adding some extra comedy) and a pretty solid spread of original ideas. Intensity wise it can't quite compare to a film like Hardcore Henry, but it's definitely not far off.


Films like Guns Akimbo don't come around very often. While they usually have little trouble finding an appreciative niche, they're too extreme and contemporary to attract a larger audience. That means most of the time the budget to create the insanity these films thrive on is lacking. So kudos to Howden for making it happen. Guns Akimbo is extremely energetic, in your face and funny, packing a couple of neat surprises, a splendid central duo and enough action to fill at least two 90-minute films. If you're looking for some madcap, over-the-top action, don't miss out on this one.


It's a great setup: Daniel Radcliffe plays Miles, a put-upon tech geek slaving his life away at shitty video game company. Miles doesn't get much respect from his co-workers or boss and seems to have no friends, so he spends his days online talking shit to internet trolls. One day he finds himself watching Skizm, a wildly illegal, real-world battle royale wherein two violent killers are pitted against one another in a fight to the death. Their every move is followed by hacked closed-circuit video cameras, drones, and whatever other surveillance tech the exceptionally evil folks at Skizm can employ to track their show's stars, while bloodthirsty internet denizens watch them battle to the death at home.
