Guns Akimbo

I've made no secret about my opinions on Samara Weaving, but I was more than willing to give _Guns Akimbo_ a chance anyway. I wouldn't say I regret that decision, but I was underwhelmed. I'm going to use a term here that I have not used unironically in... God, maybe, genuinely, over a decade, because I don't know how else to describe _Guns Akimbo_: _Guns Akimbo_ is fuckin' **tryhard**. It's so desperately ~~edgy~~, in a way that tries to emulate works I do love, but goes too far too clumsily. I didn't hate it, at all, but I was very **aware** of what this movie was trying to be, where a better film might have kept me to entertained to notice. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
