Daniel Radcliffe in Guns Akimbo (2019)
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.

    Might become a Cult Classic

    This is film is in line with Deadpool, Kingsman, Kick-Ass. Plenty of gore, absolutely crazy and funny. The action scenes are well done (keeping in mind the budget is minimum). Daniel Radcliffe is likeable lead, Samara is becoming one of the reliable upcoming star. Do watch if you're a fan of those aforementioned films.
