español Un arcade frenético con efectos visuales inteligentes y de calidad, personajes tangibles y unos cuantos giros inesperados que mantendrán la atención del espectador no objetivo (es decir, yo). No es solo la presencia de Radcliffe lo que la eleva a un nivel casi de lista A, sino sobre todo el director, que tiene facilidad para la dinámica narrativa. Uno esperaría que fuera más tonto.

inglés A very gritty and crazy romp in which Daniel Radcliffe fights against a bunch of crazy killers led by Samara Weaving. It's full of blood and black humour, but once it slows down a bit, it turns out that it actually has very little to offer in the non-action scenes. ()

inglés A video game-like, punk, stylish and brutal coke-fuelled ride! Daniel Radcliffe wakes up with guns nailed to his hands and finds himself in a death-match against Nix, the ultimate female assassin (a great Samara Weaving, again in a completely different but excellent role). It's a very enjoyable guilty pleasure that sets a fast pace right from the start, the characters are properly wacky, blood is not spared, the jokes work and surprisingly it's not as silly as it might first appear. Good fun with video game references. 7/10. ()

inglés The director of the entertaining metalhead horror flick Deathgasm picked up the gauntlet that remained lying on the action-movie battlefield following the breakup of Neveldine/Taylor. Guns Akimbo is a cyberpunk action comedy with video-game styling that borrows a lot from Crank and Hardcore Henry, though it fakes its sincere punk energy with fanboyishly phoney grittiness. It’s a shame that the film is unable to untangle itself from its nerdishly scraggly essence, which motivates not only its humour, but also its embarrassingly messianically self-reverent climax. ()

inglés A sibling of Crank in which Statham is replaced with Harry Potter in a bathrobe with pistols nailed to his hands. The screenplay seems like it was written by a high-school kid who had just discovered Cypress Hill, but it’s filmed with eagerness and unbelievable ferocity. Its allure lies mainly in the visuals and the fact that it's action packed. It takes it a while to really get going, but it’s entertaining and enjoyable overall. It’s probably meant to be a sort of wake-up call to millennials to throw down their cell phones, grab their guns and go kill people. ()

español Has visto a Daniel Radcliffe mago, con cuernos, tirándose pedos en una isla y perdido en la selva, ahora puedes verle correr por la ciudad en calzoncillos y zapatillas, disparando pistolas clavadas en las manos, porque se ha visto arrastrado a un juego a vida o muerte (en emisión online) debido al trolling de internet. Una variación frenética y cómica de la película de hace unos años Nerve, un juego sin reglas, que aborda los males de la generación moderna de Internet, un juego bastante divertido que resulta fácil de desconectar. Tengo un problema con las películas que intentan ser meta y burlarse de los clichés del cine de acción, pero luego se ciñen a los propios clichés. Sin embargo, me he divertido mucho.

inglés What a silly film, yet I did have a great time regardless of that (or perhaps precisely because of that). I’m not a huge fan of Daniel Radcliffe, but thanks to the role of Miles, I might even find a liking for him. The film had exactly what I was missing in Hardcore Henry, it didn't cease to be fun by a constant repetition of the same, the story was developing and clearly building up towards a certain goal. It was a pure action film that wasn't devoid of humor and totally bizarre situations. I got a greater dose of fun than I’d expected. ()
