Guns Akimbo Trailer (2020)

Trailer for Guns Akimbo, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Samara Weaving, Rhys Darby, Ned Dennehy and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

Nerdy video game developer (Daniel Radcliffe) is a little too fond of stirring things up on the internet with his caustic, prodding, and antagonizing comments. One night, he makes the mistake of drunkenly dropping an inflammatory barb on a broadcast of Skizm, an illegal death-match fight club streamed live to the public. In response, Riktor (Ned Dennehy), the maniacal mastermind behind the channel, decides to force Miles' hand (or hands, as it were) and have him join the "fun." Miles wakes to find heavy pistols bolted into his bones, and learns Nix (Samara Weaving), the trigger-happy star of Skizm, is his first opponent.

Gleefully echoing elements of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the Purge franchise, and video games like Mortal Kombat, GUNS AKIMBO is hilariously dark, viciously violent, and potentially -- chillingly -- prescient.
