Guns Up

Movie 2025 92 min MA 15+ Action, Comedy, Crime
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★☆☆☆

Our take

Guns Up follows a cop-turned-mob enforcer racing to extract his family after a job goes wrong. It is rated R for strong violence, language, and brief drug use. Kevin James leads a loud, bloody action comedy with criminal stakes and dark humor

Uplifting themes

Protecting family motivates the hero's exit plan

Talk after watching

  • Ray wants out of criminal work for his family. What makes it hard to leave bad situations?
  • Violence is played for laughs and thrills. How does comedy change how kids read danger?
  • One bad night snowballs fast. How do choices ripple in real life?
