The Naked Gun (2025) – Sunday 5th October 2025

Like most people, I rolled my ideas at a remake of The Naked Gun, especially one starring Liam Kneeson (an actor that’s not exactly known for his comedy chops), but I was actually pleasantly surprised! It’s decent!

It’s so difficult to make a funny comedy these days, because everyone seems to have a right not to be offended, but somehow, this film manages to poke fun, not be offensive (unless you’re a policeman) and be funny!

I ‘laughed out loud’ on more than one occasion, which is more than I expected. Liam Kneeson and Pamela Anderson are both great. The film is brisk, funny, and despite the bad guy’s evil plan being a straight rip off of ‘The Kingsman’, the film is enjoyable.

What I didn’t like, however, was the cinematography; the film looks cheap and obviously shot in a studio (suffering from shots being overly lit, with warm soft lighting, and overly saturated hues). The illusion of the action taking place in a real environment is not there at all.

Whilst nowhere near as good as the original, if you fancy switching off your brain and having a bit of a chuckle, it’s definitely worth a look!
