What happens when a mob enforcer tries to walk away from his life, but the life refuses to let him go? Enter Guns Up, the upcoming action-comedy thriller from director Edward Drake, set to light up theaters on July 18, 2025.

Starring the ever-unexpected trio of Kevin James, Christina Ricci, and Luis Guzmán, Guns Up is a sharp, high-octane crime caper with heart, laughs, and a lot of gunpowder.

💣 Plot: A Family Man, A Final Job, A City on Fire

Kevin James steps into one of his most dramatic roles yet as a grizzled mob henchman and ex-cop desperate to break free from his violent past. But just as he’s about to disappear for good, his “final job” explodes in his face — and not in the way he expected.

With one night to fix the mess, stay ahead of the hitmen now gunning for him, and somehow sneak his clueless family out of town without tipping them off, the clock is ticking fast.

🔥 Cast & Characters

• Kevin James as the ex-cop turned mob enforcer on the edge of a clean break and total collapse. Funny, furious, and unexpectedly touching.

• Christina Ricci as his sharp, suspicious wife who knows something’s off, but can’t quite put her finger on it.

• Luis Guzmán as his former police partner, now chasing him through the city, torn between duty and loyalty.

🚗 What to Expect from Guns Up

• Nonstop Action: Car chases, explosive encounters, and a frantic race against time through the city’s dark underbelly.

• Dark Humor: From awkward family dinners to chaotic mob standoffs, the comedy punches through even in the tensest moments.

• Emotional Core: Beneath the bullets and betrayals lies a poignant story about redemption, family, and the cost of escaping the past.

🎬 The Vision Behind the Violence

Director Edward Drake (known for gritty, character-driven thrillers) brings a taut, cinematic urgency to Guns Up, blending John Wick-style energy with the emotional stakes of a classic crime drama. Paired with a surprising lead performance from Kevin James, this film may just be his most serious role yet, with the right touch of comedic flair.
