The Naked Gun

About This Movie

So, Akiva Schaffer took on the challenge with 'The Naked Gun' in 2025. It's got that classic slapstick vibe but updated for a new generation. The pacing feels a bit more frenetic than the originals, which can be hit or miss depending on your taste. Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., played by a fresh face, brings a quirky charm reminiscent of Leslie Nielsen but carves his own path. The practical effects have that old-school feel, which is a treat in this CGI-heavy era. The humor, while familiar, feels a tad more self-aware. It's certainly not the same as the 80s and 90s films, but there’s a certain fun in seeing how they’ve evolved while still trying to keep the spirit alive.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer, known for his comedic style. · Features a mix of practical effects and modern tech. · New cast but pays homage to the original series. · Runtime is approximately 100 minutes, consistent with franchise length.
