While there are several problems with the film as a whole, perhaps the central one is that there are long stretches where viewers are expected to take the concept at least somewhat seriously, which proves impossible.

Guns Up is the kind of movie that disappears from memory as soon as it ends. Even with Kevin James and Christina Ricci in the cast, the film fails to work as either a comedy or an action movie. The humor is practically nonexistent, there is no timing, no rhythm, and, worse, the actors themselves seem uncomfortable, as if they were stuck with material they don't know how to **** action doesn't make up for it either. After almost 40 minutes of introduction, the first big scene arrives late and without impact. Everything is stiff, lacking energy, and the direction fails to find ways to give weight or urgency to the confrontations. Ricci even tries to deliver some intensity at the end, but the artificial tone of the choreography and the general lack of preparation are always on **** script relies on family dynamics as an emotional engine, but it is not convincing. The relationships are shallow, the motivations lack depth, and the sense of danger is practically non-existent. The narrative seems to insist on an urgency that never arrives, and when something threatens to create tension, the film itself deflates the **** the end, the biggest problem is the lack of purpose. Guns Up tries to mix the typical “dysfunctional family” with the ultra-choreographed action style à la John Wick, but it all sounds tired and breathless. Nothing here is really new, and what we've seen before is done in a less inspired way.A film that doesn't entertain, doesn't excite, and doesn't leave any mark. Unfortunately, the title ends up being the most memorable part.Translated with **** (free version)

A edição até tenta dar alguma dignidade ao material, mas além das atuações em piloto automático, a trama do cara que quer sair do crime mas está envolvido até o pescoço, e em grande parte para proteger a família, é genérica demais. O plot com a esposa é estranho, mas ainda aceitável, o grande problema mesmo são as cenas de ação, sem tensão alguma, adrenalina então passa longe. Um filme muito abaixo da média do que se espera mesmo para uma sessão pipoca.

Paul Blart: Mob Enforcer. Give me a break. I swear these movies are put out by production companies started by movie stars to get a tax break. This looks like the classic geezer teaser.
