The Naked Gun 4K 2025

The story tells us about the son of the legendary Frank Drebin, namely Frank Drebin Jr. He is an old-school cop who is not afraid to hit a criminal or use a weapon to defend himself. During a bank robbery, he exceeded his authority and was sent to investigate the seemingly ordinary death of a programmer, but in the end, our brave hero will save the world.

I'll say right away that I watched the film in the dubbed version. The dubbing is generally good, and they tried to adapt some of the jokes quite well, but I would still advise waiting for the release on digital platforms, when you can enjoy the original actors' speech and simply understand all the untranslatable wordplay. There are a lot of jokes here, but the overall level may have lost some of its sharpness. Still, there is a joke almost every minute of the film. Not all of them hit the mark, but maybe I've just missed silly parodies too much, because most of the jokes worked for me and the few other people who were also in the theater. The film parodies the image of Neeson himself, who has played many action-packed retirees over the past 20 years, and one very famous series, especially since the composer also came from that series.

The film is directed by Akiva Schaffner, who made the relatively good Chip and Dale. And, in my opinion, the simply delightful Pop Star. You may know him from Lonely Island. So he has a lot of experience in the genre, and even I am glad that he was the one who directed the new version of The Gun. Expect a lot of discussion about the music, and even one cool song performed by the main character.

In conclusion, we should thank the creators for taking a risk. It's been a long time since we've had parodies in cinema, and here we have a decent representative of the genre that happily mocks its target.
