Every action movie has a moment so over the top you have to laugh; Shoot 'Em Up consists of nothing but these moments. A carrot-eating, lone wolf kind of guy named Smith (Clive Owen, Children of Men, Inside Man) steps in to protect a pregnant woman from a gunman--and finds himself, with the aid of a lactating prostitute (Monica Belluci, The Matrix Revisited), defending the newborn child from a sleazy contract killer Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti, American Splendor, Sideways) and his army of thugs. That's pretty much the plot, but story is beside the point. Writer/director Michael Davis (Monster Man) has a keen sense of what matters in an action movie. The rapid-fire editing is scrupulously coherent; you always grasp what happened in every shoot-out, even if it flagrantly violates the laws of physics or basic plausibility. Explaining how Smith survives a four-story fall--even if that explanation is beyond ridiculous--demonstrates both a sense of wit and a winking respect for the audience's imagination. As a result, Shoot 'Em Up is ten times more entertaining than the likes of Transformers or Rush Hour 3, movies so self-satisfied with special effects or movie stars that they forgot to be fun. (Shoot 'Em Up's only weakness is a sliver of misogyny, the one action movie cliche that it's not clever enough to transcend.) --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating:3.50 out of 5.00 stars

4 out of 5 starsYou know what to expect and it delivers, shamelessly...Gloriously, Comically !!
Great action movie acting...a shameless celebration of bullets, guns, gratuitous violence with a twist of intrigue... chuckle under your breath dark humour. It does for carrots what poppey did for spinach. Monica belucci is incredibly well casted....[why does she always play the whore so WELL??], Clive Owen is sardonically brilliant, the villains look bad, talk bad and shoot bad....fun, adrenalin packed, filthy-good pop art. Loved it...Great stunts, well written short lines...SHOOT 'EM UP...makes Rambo look like a pussy..!!



5 out of 5 stars100 kills
There is sometimes nothing more fun than a movie that is a comical ride through bullets, and a chase when the man who kills the most people is the good guy.



2 out of 5 starsJust disappointing
I had high expectations for this film and it was just... such... a... let... down. Tons of style with
ABSOLUTELY no redeeming value. I really felt some good actors were completely put to waste here. Maybe a good rental but was very sorry I wasted the money on it for blu-ray.



5 out of 5 starsHysterical
This movie is over the top, ignores the laws of physics, and has lots and lots of violence. I have not laughed that hard at an action flick in a really long time. The one liners were great.... the plot, what there was of one, was to move along the action sequences, and the action sequences were just fun. What a great movie after a long week to just check out, watch stuff blow up (get shot up), and laugh. My husband and I may work out a drinking game to go with the movie, for really bad weeks.



4 out of 5 starsOne Star Reviewers..., get a clue, or at least a sense of humor
Yes, this movie is completely over the top. That's the point !!!!!!!!!! The film is a caricature of action films. The action hero is named "Mr. Smith." The hooker has a heart of gold. The body count is enormous! They have a baby in a bulletproof vest!!! I have no idea how anyone could take this movie seriously. You aren't supposed to!!! If you love action movies, and have a good sense of humor, you will enjoy this movie. This movie is great fun. I laughed my *ss off! And Clive Owen is seriously hot!!! (and for the guys.... Monica Bellucci is beautiful.)
