    I watched The Running Man last night and for ME, it easily displaced Scott Pilgrim as my third favorite Edgar Wright film. Of the Running Man adaptations I've seen: Guns Akimbo, Jackpot, The Running Man (2025), I'd say it ranks first. If you want something similar but lighter, I recommend Jackpot.

    And the original Golden Trio are doing just fine. Emma Watson's actively making the world a better place, Rupert Grint is living out his lifelong dream of driving an ice cream truck, and Daniel Radcliffe's post-Wizard Book filmography is fucking wild. Go watch Guns Akimbo and the Weird Al film.

    Radcliffe is the only one to have understood that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were right to go all-in on their individuality to avoid being tied to a certain franchise forever, and he pulled it off. It also allowed him to grow a spine. Also that Guns Akimbo movie was baller tbhimhongl

    Short film review: Guns Akimbo (2019) Silly. Like Wanted but even sillier. Rhys Darby is excellent. Also a banging soundtrack with a bit of Stan Bush for good measure. Have we learned anything? No. Have we had fun? Kinda. Was it as good as Smokey & the Bandit? Absolutely not.

    He made odd movies since he's no longer playing Harry Potter. This is Guns Akimbo like the other person said. I recently saw Horns that he made. He randomly grew devil horns after his girlfriend died. He seems just to be picking roles that interest him instead of trying to chase money. The two movies are good, if you don't take them too seriously. I never saw Harry Potter, so I can't compare, but his acting is good. The storyline is worth a watch, imo.

    While he was horrible in the first two Potter movies, he has come to do some really cool stuff and much better acting. Guns Akimbo, Swiss Army Man and while not a great movie, he plays a bad guy well in Now You See Me 2. There are more as well and he seems to be just a decent human being.l as well.

    We watched Guns Akimbo tonight and it was enjoyable enough except for how the super amazingly accurate and deadly killer woman turned into a Stormtrooper whenever she was trying to shoot Daniel Radcliffe. I get it, it would be a short film if she killed him immediately. But yeah. Kinda irritating.
