“Is dad John Wick?” Vertical has unveiled an official US trailer for the action comedy movie starring Kevin James called Guns Up, set to open in July this summer. We already posted the international trailer for this a few months ago. It’s the latest action movie creation made by director Edward Drake (of American Siege, Gasoline Alley, and the Detective Knight trilogy). A family-man ex-cop now moonlighting as a henchman for the mob has one night to get his family out of the city – and keep his dark secret hidden from his kids – after a job goes wrong. Kevin James stars as Ray Hayes, who was working as a mob thug and now needs to get his family to safety. Here’s a tidbit from IMDb trivia: “Kevin James has stated that he got the inspiration for his performance by watching French bulldogs try to jump up on a couch. When they kept falling and were unable to get up, he immediately realized how to portray his sympathetic character in the film.” Also stars Christina Ricci, Luis Guzmán, Francis Cronin, Kelly Landry, & Rob Gough. Have a fun time.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ new poster) for Edward Drake’s action movie Guns Up, from YouTube:

Police officer Ray Hayes wants to provide his family with a better life than what a regular cop can afford. So he switches sides and begins working as a debt collector & thug for organized crime. He and his wife Audrey plan to use the money they earn to open their own diner . Five years later, this plan seems within reach, and Ray is planning his exit. After a new gangster boss, Lonny, takes over, Ray becomes a target of his own men after a job goes wrong. Ray and Audrey must protect their unsuspecting children from the mafia. Guns Up is written and directed by Australian filmmaker Edward Drake, director of the movies Animals, Broil, Cosmic Sin, Apex, American Siege, Gasoline Alley, and the Detective Knight trilogy of films with Bruce Willis as well. Produced by Jeffrey Greenstein, Jon Keeyes, Mandi Murro, J.J. Nugent, Tobias Weymar, & Edward Drake. The movie already opened first in European cinemas this summer. Vertical will debut Drake’s Guns Up in select US theaters + on VOD starting July 18th, 2025 coming soon. Any good?
