What is it?
Guns Akimbo is an American action film about ‘Skizm’ an illegal-but-popular game of kill or be killed, which is broadcast on the internet. Set in contemporary times, it follows office worker Miles Harris as he spends an evening trolling the watchers of the Skizm stream, baiting them in chat for his entertainment. Unfortunately for Miles, a Skizm admin takes an interest in his online exploits and sends a team around to sort him out. Knocked out and taken away, Miles wakes the next day to discover he has had pistols bolted onto his hands, and he must face a fight to the death against Skizm’s reigning champion, Nix.
What to expect
Prepare for an entertaining mix of kinetic violence and dark comedy. Guns Akimbo is both ludicrous and bloody, stylishly shot with a high energy soundtrack. However there is a high extent of strong, and at times cruel, violence which is likely to disturb younger audiences. Alongside the frequent use of highly offensive language, and some drug use and sexual content, this strong violence ensures Guns Akimbo is best restricted to those aged 16 and over.
