    Madman Entertainment, eh?

    Anyway, what a bizarre premise. Guy has guns stapled to his hands? Not sure if I'm onboard with that one.

    Oh and Samara Weaving knows how to handle guns. Hopefully that pays off for the Snake Eyes movie, she's in as well.

    Aka "Harry Potter with guns"

    Its these kinds of films I wish we had more of. Everything seems like its required to be tied to some kind of existing franchise...and then we get this. This is real creativity.

    This is why I love Radcliffe so much. I might not really like most of the movies he's actually in, but I respect the hell out of him for signing up for SO much weird shit post-Potter days. Virtually nothing he does is 'safe', let alone palatable on a mass level for mainstream audiences. And that's beyond commendable given where he came from. He's very much following similar paths walked by Johnny Depp post-21 Jump Street and Elijah Wood post-LOTR.

    He seems like a guy with his head on straight, no blowing his money stupidly (seems like most of the HP stars in general avoided the child star trap. Except that one thug that played Goyle). His career trajectory for sure has been bizarrely entertaining. Seems like he got his taste of "fuck you" money with HP, and now just goes wherever his indie heart leads him, getting to goof off while getting a paycheck for it. He's even in an oddball TV series right now.

    I think the most Hollywood thing he's done since HP was for Now You See Me 2, and I feel like he probably took that role just so that he could play the villain.

    Well, Depp kind of went stale (shouldn't have overplayed quirky roles) and Wood hasn't done too much (though he could, playing a cannibal after playing a hobbit hero was a major career move and he pulled it off well).

    So let's hope Radcliffe won't go wrong.

    This movie looks really fun although I wonder how he’s going to reload if he has guns bolted into his hands for almost the entire movie.

    That's what I'm thinking about as well. But seeing how crazy the movie looks already we might as well throw logic aside.

    Looks like there are extended magazines for both guns. On his forearms.

    It's like those arcade games where to reload, you simply shoot away from the screen in front of you and bullets magically appear in your on-screen clip/magazine.

    It released. They said it was an okay film, but Radcliffe's got it good.

    Okay, that looks like a serious thriller where Radcliffe can be taken seriously.
