An unlikely action hero is quickly becoming a streaming sensation. Following a trend started by actors like Bob Odenkirk in “Nobody,” a well-known comedic actor and frequent co-star of Adam Sandler is surprising audiences with a tough, action-packed role.
Directed by Edward Drake and featuring Luis Guzman, Joey Diaz, Melissa Leo, Timothy V. Murphy, Kevin James, and Christina Ricci, this action film stars Kevin James as a former police officer now working as a tough guy. It’s quickly gaining popularity on streaming platforms, with action movie fans eager to see James in a more physical role.
You can now watch Guns Up on Paramount+, where it’s quickly becoming a hit and even surpassing popular action movies starring Jason Statham, Tom Cruise, and directed by John Woo. If you’re wondering where else it’s available to stream, check your local listings. Here’s a quick summary of what the movie is about…
In “Guns Up,” Ray Hayes, a former police officer and loving family man, secretly works as a hitman for the mob. Just as he’s planning to leave that life behind and open a diner with his wife, Alice, his last assignment goes horribly wrong. Now, Ray has only one night to get his family to safety before the mob comes after him.
‘Guns Up’ Was Far Better Received Than Anyone Expected
Vertical
It’s not surprising that Guns Up received mixed reactions when it came out. However, it actually performed better than most action comedies starring Kevin James. Currently, the film has a 61% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences give it a much higher 78% on the Popcornmeter. Critics found the movie’s tone inconsistent, though they did appreciate James’ sincere performance and the few genuinely heartwarming moments.
Audience reactions to Guns Up have been positive. One Rotten Tomatoes user compared it to a mix of Mr. Nobody and John Wick, praising the humor and performances. Another viewer called the movie “a blast” and highlighted the chemistry between Kevin James and Christina Ricci. Many, like one user who noted James’ versatility and acting skill, were particularly impressed with the entire cast’s performance, especially James and Ricci.
Many viewers have compared the movie to John Wick, with one person noting the action is very good and reminiscent of that film, but often with a comedic touch. Another fan expressed hope for a sequel, describing it as a blend of Born and John Wick, and praising its energetic and exciting nature, especially with the pairing of Kevin James and Christina Ricci.
