While most noted for his comedies like Paul Blart: Mall Cop and King of Queens, Kevin James has dipped his foot into some action with success in films like the MMA comedy Here Comes The Boom and Becky. Now he is heading into the full-on action role with his latest film Guns Up co-starring Christina Ricci, Luis Guzmán, and Melissa Leo from Detective Knight trilogy director Edward Drake.

 

Guns Up follows a family-man moonlighting as a henchman for the mob has one night to get his family out of the city – and keep his dark secret hidden – after a job goes horribly wrong.

 

While you will have to wait until July 18th to see the film in theaters and digital, you can check out the first trailer here now from Vertical Entertainment.
