A ★★★★ review of Guns Akimbo (2019)
Guns Akimbo

Junk food cinema at its best. It's pretty much what you get if you combined Upgrade and Hardcore Henry with a little bit of Gamer and Crank thrown in. Plot is not at all complicated or challenging, but that's the charm they're going for. It's got comedic moments that go along with the ultraviolet action and it mostly works. Daniel Radcliffe was really great, but Samara Weaving stole the show. She's pretty much unleashed here and it's glorious to watch. They also shot it really well and there's a lot of that Suicide Squad aesthetic going on that works. While it's got something to say about internet culture and society in general, it doesn't take itself seriously at all, its just used to justify this batsh** insane plot. Overall, it's worth seeing if you're in to see some over the top craziness for 90 minutes.
4/5

THE INVISIBLE MAN

One of my crazy ex's has turned invisible...what bridge should i jump from?



PRAISE: Director and writer Leigh Whannell does his best to bring something fresh to an extremely well known character,in this story of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) fleeing from her abusive and manipulative ex Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen in a role that Johnny Depp was supposed to play). When he suddenly dies there are clues that he has somehow returned and is now invisible.
Moss is terrific as Cecilia ,she fills the screen with as much raw emotion she can muster,further proving she is one of the best actresses around. The rest of the cast does a fine job which includes:Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Michael Dorman.But this is Moss's and Director Whanneell's show all the way.He frames a scene with so much tension,anticipation and suspense it pushed me to the edge of my seat.He couples it with a thunderous and pounding score by Benjamin Wallfisch which made the film even more unnerving.
There are shades of other films within this film like Hollowman and a MeToo Lifetime movie but i didnt mind because it actually builds on all of the aforementioned.

PROBLEMS:There are a couple of plot holes and predictable moments.There is a routine and basic feel to some of the things that play out in the last 30 minutes

It will be interesting to see what Universal does with the rest of the monsters in their library.
