TAGLINES
Just another family man making a living.
I'm a British nanny and I'm dangerous.
It's a better investment than a crib.
No name, no past, nothing to lose.
Late at night, in an unnamed U.S. city, a solitary man sits at a bus stop. A pregnant woman runs by, pursued by a man with a gun. With reluctance, the man at the bus stop rescues her and assists with the baby's delivery, while additional pursuers fire at them, including the gang's particularly nasty leader, an intuitive man named Hertz. Our hero, known only as Smith, determines to save the child and find out why Hertz wants the baby dead. At a local bordello, he tries to employ a lactating hooker to watch the child, but things quickly escalate, and this makeshift family is soon on the run. Heavy metal music calms the baby. Why? A laboratory, a gun factory, and a presidential campaign all figure in Smith's search for the child's ultimate safety.

posted on 26 Aug 2009Right lets get the plot out the way first, guy saves pregnant woman, delivers baby, protects baby form bad guys out to kill it, and him.That's it, let's not beat about the bush this film is ridiculous, preposterous, downright stupid, with some of the cheesiest dialogue you could imagine....and I loved every bullet riddled head cracking minute.Clive Owen is a blast as the carrot (yes carrot) chomping trench coated bad ass, with a BAD, yes BAD attitude.Paul is a revelation as one real, real evil and sadistic bad guy, we get a bit of glamour with the addition of Monica Belluci but sadly she seems a bit wasted amongst the carnage present, a shower scene might have been a nice rest bite bullets flying.This film has it all for the Saturday night pop corn no-brainer out there, shoot out, LOTS of shoot outs, car chases, bad gags and puns that would make a Roger Moore Bond blush, a head banging soundtrack, an Italian babe.....great fun, like watching last years "Crank" on Angel Dust!
Makes Die Hard look like a high school documentary
posted on 24 Aug 2009The movie is stylish, well directed and well cast. Too bad it turns into a cartoon about ten minutes into the film. Suspension of disbelief has to be held at a level that has never been held before if you buy into this film. Stuff happens that is so amazingly out there, it's hard to like the film.Of course, it has the "Commando" rule that the hero can hit every shot with dead on precision while being fired on by hundreds of bad guys from all angles and not get a scratch. If it was just that, it wouldn't be as bad. But all the little things the hero does are so over-the-top, even James Bond would be shaking his head in disgust.Forget that he can hit any object no matter how fast it or he is moving with ease, the fact he rams his car into a van to purposely get thrown into the van to kill everyone was awful. You could do it in real life 100 times and still probably not "exit" that way (not taking into effect you'd probably break every bone in the crash). But when he jumps off an overpass, shoots out a sun roof in a car and lands safely and easily into the car's seat without any damage to him or the car, what enjoyment I could get from the movie kind of went out the window. He might as well jump off 18 story buildings and land on his feet, or swim under water for a couple hours without air because it be just as believable. I was expecting the bad guys to walk in the room, see the hero and their eyes pop out like springs in a Tex Avery cartoon; that's how real this movie is.And the baby gets thrown around like a rag doll, of course a real baby's bones would have been broke about 20 minutes into the movie.Yeah, there are people who will whine and say "your complaining about a popcorn movie, take it for what it is..." which is fine, but when the action is so cartoonish as it was in this movie, and you're a human being who expects SOME semblance of realism in a film, it's hard to enjoy it like people who just like guys shooting guns in any movie.
Shoot 'Em Up, Take 'Em Down.
posted on 24 Aug 2009I love going to the movies with low expectations; if I am right, then at least I had enough foresight to prepare for the worst, but if I am wrong, then the experience of a great movie is all the more entertaining since I was not expecting it. Case in point, Shoot 'Em Up: I was absolutely blown away by this movie.Then again, how could I not be? Writer/director Mike Davis has done such an amazing job combining a little plot with a lot of extremely stylized action and just enough bad CGI blood to create a relentlessly fun orgy of guns, sex, and superficial political interpretations. Oh, and laughs; God, are there laughs. Take, for instance, an early scene, in which the cause of a henchman's death is, of all things... ah, go see it yourself.Contrary to what the title implies, Shoot 'Em Up is not just 87 minutes (honestly, I wanted more) of gunfights. There is a plot, involving the protection of an orphaned baby and the urge of Mr. Smith (Clive Owen, given no real name but so much character) to rid the world of everything he hates. As feeble as it is, I've thought about it and I realize now, with equal shock and glee, that the story works for the movie. What we are left with are well-visualized and executed fight scenes with just enough character development to develop some sympathy and even a brief, if somewhat hypocritical, commentary on, of all things, gun control.Everything about the film is ridiculous, from Smith's ability to shoot the bad guys, have sex with his female tag-along, and manipulate electronic devices with one hand in two seconds, to the fact that he does many of these things at the same time with the baby cradled in his spare arm. He could have stopped mid-shootout for a cup of coffee, and I would have believed it. Owen as good here as he was in Sin City, probably because he's playing roughly the same character in both films: a well-trained and almost superhuman vigilante trying to make sense of a situation in which he finds himself too deep. He is supported well by Paul Giamatti as the relentless antagonist (Surprise!), and Monica Bellucci as his trusty companion. No one particularly shines, though, because the main stars of the film are the countless bullets and bodies littering the set; who's paying attention to anything else?Twisted without being repulsive, stylized without being cheesy, and mindless without being insulting, Shoot 'Em Up got my heart pumping and my mouth laughing aloud as I walked from the theater (after a quick shoot-'em-up arcade game, of course). Pondering the experience on my way home, I realized that I have seen better movies in recent months, but none of them pleased me more than this one. Bang Bang.
Just burn your money.
posted on 20 Aug 2009I don't care what your politics are, where you stand on gun control, whether Garth Ennis is a genius or not or if the coyote should have eaten the roadrunner. This movie just plain SUCKS! I wanted to like the movie, I like Clive Owen, I like Paul big long name that starts with a G. I like action movies, I like guns. I like gratuitous violence! I however don't like 2 hours of cheesy one liners and ridiculous action whether it's supposed to be taken serious or not. I simply was not entertained; I cannot see how anyone over the age of 12 could have been. (Unless functionally retarded) Lets just say this; I liked Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, Predator, Die Hard, American History X, Lord of War, Bourne -, Ren and Stimpy, Animaniacs, Resident Evil 3 even. However this movie is a complete waste of time. I didn't take it serious, however those who thought it great, I do take that serious and wonder what the future holds for those of us who are able to tie our shoes by ourselves. Maybe Darwinism will take effect and spare us from a fate worse than death, like Shoot em up 2.
Truly Awful
posted on 20 Aug 2009This is just a terrible, plot less, mindless, emotion-free, meaningless, un-fun, un-entertaining complete waste of time. I know that "mindless entertainment" has somehow turned into a compliment these days, but this goes way beyond that. It's a movie that vilifies its audience, assuming that we are moronic Neanderthals who wouldn't recognize a plot line if it hit us in the head. This film was made by a talentless director who hides his deficiencies by claiming that all the audience wants to see are explosions, explosions, and more explosions. Don't go to this movie - you'll regret it. It's being marketed as a "Kill Bill" clone, but Kill Bill was a skillfully told revenge story with real depth to it. Shoot'em Up is just random fight-scenes tied together by a plot so ludicrous it could have been randomly generated by a computer. We feel nothing whatsoever towards the characters; our only emotion is regret over the 8$ we just spent on the ticket.
talk about shooting your load....
posted on 18 Aug 2009this movie is basically a video game on screen. it's frenetic, fast paced and non-stop until the final credits roll. why was this movie made? heavens knows why, but if you like films like face/off or anything John Woo has done or ever will doe, you will probably love this as much as i did.the story is your basic silly one, a lone man named Smith helps a pregnant lady deliver her baby under gunfire, he takes care of the baby all the while being chased by Paul Giammati and his endless supply of disposable bad guys. on the way he teams up with Monica Belluci and then he figures out why they are so desperate for the baby, it's carrying the bone marrow that will save someone important. for eighty odd minutes we are treated to non stop action, inventive set pieces, gunfights while delivering a baby, gunfights during sexual intercourse, gunfights while sky diving.this is Owen's shout out to Broccoli, his Bond, and to be fair he does a pretty good job of playing the mysterious good guy, while not all the while good, his best interest is the baby, but he does carry a massive chip on his shoulder, thinking the world owes him something. Giamatti too is wonderful in his role, almost usurping Rickman in Robin Hood as the most pantomime villain ever seen on screen.not for all tastes, this is for action junkies only, and a wild ride too
It is what it is...
posted on 18 Aug 2009This is an extremely violent and bloody movie to the point that it's funny; this is the intention. It's much like "The Boondock Saints" in that it has clever action scenes and funny dialogue along with the extreme violence.Take this movie as it is. It isn't deep, but if you like action films, or can tolerate bloodshed and like comedy, you should see this once for an hour and a half of entertainment.I'd like to give it 10 stars, but I just can't equate it with the greatest films ever as the IMDb ranking system does. However, 8 stars is still pretty good.But for what it is, it's a must see film.
Fully loaded fun!!!
posted on 18 Aug 2009I missed out on a free screening of this film back when it was about to hit theaters. Never got around to seeing it after that and when it came out on DVD couldn't find many places offering it at a decent price. Finally found it for a good price and man did I miss out! I would have loved to seen this film in theaters. It is loud, crude, dark, funny, bloody, you name it, all of it is squeezed into 87mins and no minute is wasted.Clive Owen is great as Smith. He shows why he very well could have been the next Bond. Paul Giamatti is fun as ever as the hired gun following Owens bloody trail. Monica Bellucci......need I say more? She is a perfect sexy match for Owen.There isn't much in the way of character development. It pretty much starts out a loud bloody mess and stays that way. We are given a few nuggets here and there, but it is between the wise cracks, blood and bullets.Great stuff, definitely give it a spin on the DVD player.
Do not watch this movie!!!
posted on 16 Aug 2009This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The premise is weak, the dialogue is cheesy, the acting is terrible, and the special effects are cartoonish. I am a huge Paul Giamatti fan and for the first time he has disappointed me. I would never expect an actor of his caliber to sign on to act in such drivel. This movie is for the Dungeon & Dragon playing basement dwellers who still rely on their mother to do their laundry and make them feel good about themselves. This is confirmed by the inclusion of the scene involving the lactating hooker. Why anyone would find any part of this inane, sophomoric movie entertaining is beyond me.
The Best Movie Ever
posted on 06 Aug 2009This is the best movie ever made. The most action since John Woo's "Hard Boiled". The girl is best looking girl in the world. The action is non-stop. The Shoot-Outs get better and better by every scene. The only Skilled Gunfighter that matches him is "Leon - The Professional". Definite Must Buy when it comes to DVD. The Best Ever. My favorite used to be "The Killer" and "Hard Boiled" but this took the cake. The girl is super sexy and the action is super tight. Nothing can top this. He kills hundreds of People so stylishly that it is crazy. "War" was good this year, "Halloween" was good this year, but this is the best movie ever made and the best movie of the year.
Anyone else not watch this to the end?
posted on 02 Aug 2009There are only two films I have failed to watch to the end, this & Ocean's 12. I saw the 7.2 voting score & thought that it would be a tongue in cheek (Hot fuzz) type of film. I like a little escapism & over the top scene's, but this was just unwatchable in my estimation. I never saw the end, so i'm guessing he was either an indestructible robot, alien that has special reflexes that can dodge thousands of bullets or in a dream & woke up at the end for tea & toast. I think I will have to look into the voting more carefully next time, sorry to bore you all but It says I have to write 10 lines of text to qualify a post.
Beats standard Hollywood action - wow
posted on 02 Aug 2009Today I saw this as well as Die Hard 4.Even though this was wayyyyyyy over the top of senseless action, no plot or thin plot, overload of gun usage and chase scenes and really stupid buildup, I enjoyed it more than Die Hard 4.Die Hard 4 was an action movie that was plot based...but then went into just too much extreme while still trying to maintain a story...this on the other hand didn't really have a plot from the beginning and right away was senseless action.So, I was not overly bored when it came to trying to find a story...because when you have 30 guys with guns chasing somebody carrying a baby, jumping off roofs, racing through factories and such and he doesn't get a scratch on him, nor does the baby get injured...well then you know it's gonna be senseless.Unlike Die Hard 4...where there was a story, characters that were supposed to do something or other and something was supposed to get accomplished...this script had none of that.It has people getting shot in the wildest ways and is mindless semi amusing entertainment...at nearly 1/4 of the budget.You will either like it or not...but you will certainly find it silly and action filled.
Raw with nonstop sharp lines and action packed fun that you enjoy even though the story and character development is weak.
posted on 25 Jul 2009"Shoot 'Em Up" is clearly a fun watching movie experience as it's nonstop action from start to finish you as the viewer never feel a dull moment you will really be entertained. From the opening scene with a woman giving birth to the shooting of the baby's umbilical cord the action and gunfire is constant. Character development and the story background is somewhat weak, you have Clive Owen as a macho tough guy named Smith who's a real gunslinger who disposes of ammo anytime from across rooms to even thru the air! Owen's character of Smith is film noir like and heroic like Bugs Bunny by chewing on carrots all during the action and drama. The real drama from his finding the baby is he's on the run from a city crime boss Hertz(Paul Giamatti) who runs a group of thugs then Smith meets up with a modern day hooker Donna played by sexy Monica Bellucci and their loving making scene is that much more enjoyable when he has to fire off bullets to stop bad guys while still making out! Excess guns, blood and violence then see this film for a feel good time and pure popcorn money entertainment, yet the story is mostly dark with no character development you just guess at the backgrounds and see the film noir type. Still worth a watch though because movies entertain and give you a feel good time.
You Can't Like It For What It Is, Because It Isn't Really Anything
posted on 21 Jul 2009Shoot 'Em Up is the work of a filmmaker who is too immersed in the element of film-making that is having fun to worry about the side where things come together as a cohesive and memorable film, thus making the movie an interesting exercise, because we see what happens when a writer/director goes through the process with the intent of ignoring every slightly tough or serious step of writing or directing. The outcome is a film that if personified would be that self-unaware show-off who loves himself and is quite entertaining but really has his head buried so far up his end that he can't tell where he ends and begins. You know the type, so you know what I'm saying about the film.Clive Owen's character is nor true action hero or spoof of an action hero. He definitely cracks wise, which is designed for laughs, but which kind of laughter? Are we laughing because it's clever or are we laughing because it's silly, and does the film know it's silly or not? That's only an example of the film's, or should I say movie's, complex. You can't like it for what it is, because you don't know what it is! Really, it isn't anything! It's not an action adventure, it's not an action-comedy, it's not a spoof of either. It just panhandles from each of those three whenever it feels like it.The shootouts, from the start, look like they're going to be a lot of fun, and sometimes they are, and most of them are quite inventive, which is the main focus for the movie. But after awhile, the blade has been dulled to a stub, and we're sitting there knowing how above it all we are. The film focuses on the idea of basically being a two-hour gunfight and succeeds, because it starkly, stubbornly refuses to be creative in a lot of areas where it could've simply made the opposite decision and become a much, much, much better movie. For instance, Clive Owen is Mr. Smith. Period. Paul Giamatti is Mr. Hertz. That's it. And Monica Bellucci's character, while not given a "Mr. something" name, is the loud, careless fart at the dinner party for all against the cliché of the woman in the action movie who really only serves as a bimbo, because she actually plays a hooker who gets to do virtually nothing except take care of a baby which survives a shootout and hide in an army tank exhibit in some museum.When the story unfolds to reveal a frustrating moral dilemma, which doesn't care where anyone in the audience stands politically and is quite ignorant, the movie shamelessly takes the easiest possible way out, which is killing everyone from either side of the token. Oh, I'm sorry. Was that something shocking that I just disclosed?Now for the good points. Clive Owen is quite a talent. What a movie star that guy is. He can make good from any role he's given. He doesn't necessarily build upon it and develop it further, but what he does is just as well. He gives the most acute approach to the writer's conception of his character, and you can hear the filmmakers passionately pointing, shouting, "Yes! That's exactly it!" Paul Giamatti, just as well, his this great, manic presence that serves just right for the film's stale evil crime boss. OK. That's it for the good points.
Shoot 'em Up is one Big Action Packed Gunplay Shoot 'em Up
posted on 19 Jul 2009(My Synopsis) Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is a down and out loner who doesn't what to be bothered by anyone. However, when people do something that makes him say, "You know what I hate," then all hell breaks loose. Mr. Smith is minding his own business eating a carrot and waiting for a bus, when a pregnant woman runs by trying to escape from an armed man about to kill her. Mr. Smith shows up like a knight in shining armor to rescue her with his only weapon, the carrot. This is just the beginning, because Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti), an intelligent maliciously evil criminal gun for hire, shows up with a mob of killers to kill the woman and her baby. Mr. Smith can't allow that to happen and the mass killings begin.(My Comment) This movie is classified as an action thriller, and the title says it all, it really is a non-stop thrill ride from start to finish. The opening scene is one of the wildest and most bizarre action scenes I have ever seen using a carrot as a weapon, shell casings bouncing off a pregnant woman's belly, and the umbilical cord being cut by a bullet. Mr. Smith is an unstoppable good-guy who is an expert shot with the skills of a black-ops agent. This movie has every kind of gun battle, that were very well coordinated, from standoffs, to showdowns, shootouts, car chases, and even an airborne gun fight. Paul Giamatti plays a great bad-guy pursuing the baby, because everybody in the audience wants Mr. Smith to blow him away throughout the whole movie. There is one fantastic sex scene with DQ (Monica Bellucci) that is partially interrupted by the appearance of 6 killers at the door and window; you have to see it to believe it. There is somewhat of a meaningless plot in the movie, but it would be better for you to suspend it and enjoy the action, because you know in real life there is no way Mr. Smith could have survived all those hired killers (it's only a movie). Just a warning, if you can't stand a lot of killing, you may want to miss this one, because on average, Mr. Smith kills a total of 2 people per minute of the movie. There were enough killings in this one movie to last me the rest of the year. The movie is over-the-top and really deserves its R rating, and Clive Owen is the new top gun in town. (New Line Cinema, Run time 1:33, Rated R)(10/10)
It is stupid... seriously, it IS stupid!
posted on 17 Jul 2009Before seeing the movie, I had the chance to see the trailer a couple of times... Some shots in the trailer were a bit 'ridiculous', so I thought to myself: "Well, don't judge a movie by its trailer". I was wrong, very very wrong.Before I describe this movie, I should mention this: I always try to interpret a movie in a lot of ways. I'm always trying to interpret the movie in the way the director intended it to be. I gave both "The Fountain" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" a 10 out of 10. I even greatly enjoyed "Sin City". So, let's begin."Shoot Em Up" is a 'movie' full of cheap and stupid action. I can't even compare it to Rambo! I really thought that nowadays there is NO way you can make a movie where the main character shoots about 50 rounds from his pistol and kills 60 bad guys, whom all shoot from Uzis and Shotguns at him, and he doesn't even get a scratch (even "Equilibrium" was a little unbelievable). The plot is nonexistent. Don't expect a plot twist in the end - it is simply not there. The one-liners are incredibly lame and boring. The whole movie creates the impression of a really big (and probably expensive) mistake. It simply shouldn't exist.Of course the success of a movie is mostly based on marketing. What do you do when you invested a lot of money into a movie that simply sucks? Correctly, do the exact same thing as was done with the recent Tarantino movies: say that it sucks, but in the good way. Say that it sucks just because you wanted to make it suck. Say that it is a 'satire' and some sort of 'parody of modern action movies'. Great! Now 9 out of 10 people will say: "Wow! This guys were right! They wanted their movie to suck, and it sucks!!! COOOOOL! I'll give it a 10 on IMDb!".OK. Now for those that read just last lines of a movie "review": don't watch this movie. Seriously, don't watch it. If you will - i'll read your rants here later, because you will be mad about spending 15$ and 90 minutes of your life on this piece of crap. I'm out.
Great Fun
posted on 17 Jul 2009I absolutely loved this movie. It is dark, it is funny and above all it does not pretend to have any depth. In fact it is ruthless in it one mindedness to Shoot 'Em Up (including politicians). It is so over the top you just have to see it. Someone called it a Gun Porn and it is just that. As to the cast Clive Owen simply is Mr. Smith. He manages to portrait a layered character despite the script mainly containing only on-liners. And as a woman I have to add, he is a hunk!! Paul Giammatti is surprisingly, refreshingly different yet completely believable as the bad guy.
An action movie that knows its an action movie!
posted on 17 Jul 2009This is an action movie that knows it's and action movie. Giamatti and Owen play so tough, but at the same time funny, they play off the tough guy who kicks ass and doesn't take answers from nobody down to a tee. Clive Owen is one of the better actors of the decade, and besides his performance in Sin City this is one of his best films by far. Paul Giamatti playing the part of the villain could not have been cast better. If your looking for a good movie to watch that is going to give you some good action combined with a few chuckles this is the movie to see. This movie has the same form of mood that Pulp Fiction had going for it back in the 90's, the action movie that has its funny parts as well.
Fun, Action Packed Flick
posted on 11 Jul 2009If you're looking for a serious movie with a good plot or filled with character development or something along those lines, stop reading this review and don't even think about watching this movie.If you read the critic reviews, Roger Ebert hits it spot on. This movie is loads of fun. It is filled with TONS of action and lots of humor. Clive Owen is awesome as Mr. Smith and Giammati is surprisingly great as the evil guy. This movie has no real plot but just a chain of events that follow after one action taken by Mr. Smith, played by Owen.If you love no brainer action flicks, you have to watch this. Sure it's filled with ridiculous stuff, fight scenes with Owen protecting the baby and the parachute scene, but it's still a lot of fun.Plus the flick is only 80 minutes long, so if you don't like it, you didn't spent too much time of your life watching it.9/10
A truly awful movie... just plain bad
posted on 28 Aug 2009I got to see this film for free at the San Diego Comic Con. We waited in line for 2 hours and almost didn't get in. We had to pretend to be press, and ended up sitting just in front of the writer/director, who was extremely excited to be there. He gave a short ecstatic speech before the film, about how the studio let him go out and make the movie he wanted to make. Well, I hope they've learned their lesson.This film is a mishmash of bad one liners and action-movie clichés. There really is no plot. Maybe you heard that the director sold the studio on this film with only a set of gun fight concepts... apparently it's true, as this film skips haphazardly from action scene to action scene.The basic "plot": Clive Owen, playing a guy only known as Smith, tries to intervene as a woman with a baby is menaced in a dark alley. Smith was just minding his own business, sitting on a bench eating a carrot (just like Bugs Bunny.. and yes, he does say "what's up doc" at least once) when he jumps into action. He's not able to save the woman, but he takes the baby, and teams up with a lactating hooker (Monica Bellucci, whose agent must have been on vacation when she got this script). They go on the run to try to save the baby from bad guy Paul Giamatti, who makes Gary Oldman in The Professional look understated.Lots of action scenes ensue: In one early scene, Smith abandons the baby on a playground carousel, only to discover the bad guys are about to snipe the baby from the street. He takes aim with his handgun and shoots the bar on the carousel, causing the carousel to spin and ruin Bad Guy's shot, then shoots the bar AGAIN while it is STILL SPINNING, to make it spin faster, then hits it AGAIN! Yeah, that was some pretty fancy shooting..In another car chase scene, he chases a bad guy, who drops his gun on the pavement. Smith, while driving about 80 MPH, casually opens his car door, leans out and scoops up the gun. I know somebody who tried to pick something up off the ground while driving. He was lucky just to get a broken wrist.This scene ticked me off. I guess this could be a spoiler, but there really isn't any plot to be spoiled: In a final confrontation with Bad Guy, Smith doesn't have a gun, but he has bullets. He puts several between his fingers and thrusts his hand into a fireplace, causing the BULLETS TO EXPLODE and shoot Bad Guy. Look--you know why there is a barrel on a gun, right? It's because bullets need something to guide them... they cannot be aimed by themselves... I was so insulted by this point, that I almost turned around and told the director he was an idiot and I hope he doesn't make a single penny from this film.So that's pretty much it. There's little plot, no character development and the director obviously thinks that bad one liners ("Now that's what I call blowing your load", "what's up doc", etc) and cartoon violence is all that it takes to make a movie. This movie is the idiot version of Smokin' Aces, completely lacking any cool dialog or innovative action. Trust me. You've seen this all before, and it was done much better.
