Some capers or farces have a certain uniqueness or almost blind coolness to them. "Borderline" has a lot of right ingredients but sometimes goes a bit off reservation. Headlined by Ray Nicholson as an obsessive fan with style and Samara Weaving as the object of his focus, it could have been something really really dark. Produced by Margo Robbie and directed by Samara Weaving's husband Jimmy Warren, it is an interesting family affair with a comic tone.

The aspect of a good heist film can work if there is stakes. Energy and chemistry says a lot but sometimes that idea can overtake the narrative (depending if it is strong enough). This is the issue with "Eenie Meanie" starring Samara Weaving as the lead Edie, a getaway car driver who is retired but gets pulled back in. The film is a bunch of fun but the one thing it does off-kilter is that it creates consequences for some but none for others.

The context of "Chevalier" reflects in a concept of acceptance versus social justice and how perspective and perception both leads and deceives. After an interesting turn in "Cyrano" last year, Kelvin Harrison Jr. comes to the forefront as the lead character here showing both the depth, conflict (and artifice at times) that the character requires.

The resolution is typical graphic novel style overload but undeniably entertaining with the set up ripe for engagement and continuation. "Guns Akimbo" is good fun with its tongue-in-cheek, a good sense of itself and a flagrant style.
