"Got Milk? Got Carrots?"
The first time I watched this film I didn't like it very much. It held my interest, but I didn't care for the wafer-thin plot. And those are diet wafers. But I watched it again with the audio commentary by writer/director Michael Davis. He pointed out some of the elements that I had missed, and my interest picked up.

The jerry-rigged plot has Mr. Smith (ably portrayed by Clive Owen) injecting himself into a conspiracy to murder a very pregnant woman. Hordes of heavily armed bad guys are hunting her. Smith ends up caring for her newborn child. The movie becomes a series of gunfights in which some 130 (according to the commentary) bad guys fall to Smith's super-sharp shooting. The gun battles contain elements drawn from James Bond, Dirty Harry, Lethal Weapon, and the countless other flicks that feature a good guy who can shoot taking on legions of bad guys who can't. On top of this, Davis makes it all surreal by developing fantastic scenarios with a Rube Goldberg twist.

The stunning Monica Bellucci adds a certain ... warmth as she plays a lactating prostitute who really cares. She proves with Mr.Smith that people can attain a satisfying climax under the most trying conditions. Paul Giamatti is the heavy (Hertz) who reminds me of Orson Welles gone to seed.

There are some disgusting elements like a graphic depiction of what could happen when a gun falls into a filthy toilet and Hertz's "interaction" with a corpse.

In my opinion, if you take away a few disgusting scenes and tighten up the plot, this becomes a great movie.



"Mchstokes Rewiew"
This was an exciting movie from start to finish. It really was a shoot them up

"Shooting Blanks"
If this is supposed to be a homage to the Hong Kong action genre then John Woo should feel a little slighted. This flick is of little discernible style and no substance. The over-the-top action is boring, the plot is convoluted, and the constant stabs at humor drop like a thud. The usually dependable Clive Owen cannot even save this turkey. He has to work overtime to stave off embarrassment. But, then, Clive can pick and choose his own projects so you can't imagine what drew him to this one. Paul Giamatti lays an egg as the film's heavy. Be careful, Paul, or people will forget that you made good flicks like "American Splendor" and "Sideways". Monica Bellucci as the requisite femme fatale is the only performer here to make a visceral impact. The hilarious love-making scene between her and Owen is about the only time this film engaged me. Otherwise, this flick is a complete waste of brain cells and not in the good way that some popcorn flicks are.

"Pass the Ammo and the Carrots"
Shoot 'em Up is an over-the-top homage to 25+ years of action movies. Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is a carrot-munching stranger who just happens to observe a pregnant woman being hunted down by a bunch of thugs. He springs into action, killing the thugs and saving the baby, but losing the mom. As is instantly apparent, Smith is no ordinary hero--he is a Special Ops killing machine who just happens to be at the wrong place at the right time. The rest of the movie involves Smith trying to get the baby to safety and unravel the mystery of what is going on. All the while he is pursued by the relentless & evil Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti), who, in Smith, has inexplicably found an adversary that matches him.

This movie is loads of fun, but is definitely not to be take seriously. It somehow manages to glorify gun violence while preaching gun control. To achieve this feat, the writers squeeze in every cliche imaginable (for example: not only was Smith's family murdered, he unknowingly sold the guns to the man who killed them). Despite the cartoonish nature of the violence (especially Mr. Smith's lethal skills), both Owen and Giamatti are great in their roles and some of the lines they deliver are instant classics. Giamatti is surprisingly effective as the hen-pecked bad guy, a welcome turn from his traditional roles. All in all, a great movie to watch if you're willing to stop thinking for 90 minutes or so. Its also a great advertisement for the benefits of eating carrots (which I've started doing).

What our customer's say!

"Ammo Burner", A fun ride in the style of Peckinpah and John Woo. The smell of burning gunpowder and bullets flying. A lot of dark humor also.

"THIS movie is Ridiculous!", I watched this movie the other day with my friends and it feels like some very bad video game where one guy is invincible. The plot makes no sense and the blood and gore is overdone. It is basically about some British Agent that kills around 500 people by the end of the movie mainly by a Magnum. Too much sexual stuff; definitely not for under 17. Don't waste your time.

"Great Action Movie", This film is just filled with some unbelievable action by all of the actors. My family really, really liked this film.

"A love-hate movie that I loved", "Shoot 'Em Up" is a straight-faced over-the-top parody of the action movie genre. Profoundly silly one-liners after shooting a guy? Check. No backstory about our cookie-cutter characters? Got it. An overly convoluted plot that makes no sense at all? Yep. The ability of the hero to run away from 10 guys shooting at him a close range? Check. And stunts that would kill a regular human being 10 times over, from which the hero walks away? About every 5 minutes.

Where most action movies present these elements and expect us to swallow them, "Shoot 'Em Up" goes so far over the top that it flings those elements, and others, right in the audience's face as part of its bone-dry parody. I think that's why this movie is so polarizing - whether you like this kind of thing is a matter of taste. For example, whether you find a pro-gun-control gunfighting hero to be head-scratching or funny as heck will depend completely on your sense of humor.

For this film to work, Owen and Giamatti had to own their characters completely, as ridiculous as they were, and they definitely did so. The pace has to keep moving so you don't stop and think about the details too much, and it certainly did. At 90 minutes, this film is just long enough.

The irony is that "Shoot 'Em Up," even as a parody of the genre, is a superior example of the genre. It's at least worth a rent, particularly if you have Blu-Ray - the Blu-Ray transfer is fantastic.

"Paul Giamatti Steals the Show!", This is a stylized action-thriller with an improbable plot (much like Crank or The Transporter). This movie starts out with action and doesn't let up until the end. If you enjoy the low on plot high on entertainment value film genre then this is for you. Paul Giamatti is a special treat with great lines throughout the movie and a memorable character.

"OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE ACTION SCENES. Non-stop shooting. Absolutely nonsense.", It contains OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE ACTION SCENES. For example in one scene, Clive Owen shot his hand gun continously with a carrot pressed down on the trigger! The shooting is non-stop. It's absolutely nonsense. In my opinion, it's fun to watch once.

"Horrid", What a glowing piece of steamy effluvia this waste of time was. You should be able to find something else to do with your ten bucks and 100 minutes rather than waste it on this crapstorm.

"Another Clive Own 'stinker'", What is it with Clive Owen and his choice of films to do? He was great in The Croupier and interesting as an assassin the first Bourne film, but here and in several other films (I'll Sleep When I'm Dead) he just isn't believable as a dumb, sadistic, violent guy--he's too smart to play that.

Here in Shoot em Up his character has no back story; his action scenes are fine but too unbelievable to be more than 'cartoonish', and his gorgeous love interest (Monic Bellucci) seems way too smart to be with such a simple 'thug'.

Add to the continuous action a bad guy (Paul Giamatti) who also seems unbelievable and you've got a mindless waste of time. And one more thing; this movie has a scene of nudity that is really disgusting and should have been cut--and I'm not speaking of any scene involving Monica Bellucci.

"Shoot 'Em Up", A no brainer action movie if taken as that is fun to watch. I would have given it three and a half stars if I could have since I enjoyed it more than "Chaos". I have certainly seen far worse action movies. Afterall this one doesn't take itself seriously and that gives it a leg up over those that do. Clive Owen as always is quite entertaining. How he eliminates a couple enemies with carrots not to mention some of the shooting stunts should impress and amuse you. This may not have the depth of "Inside Man", but it was not meant to either. It was meant to be fun plain and simple. The story centers around our hero trying to save a pregnant woman. He manages to save her long enough to have her baby but then he can only save the baby from the government and criminal types so intent on their death. The mystery he unravels as to why has some depth of thought. This is a fast paced movie and most fans of action movies should enjoy it. Good quality DVD with fair replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Kill Bill" and "Hitman".

CA Luster

"Not for Everybody", I'm the first to admit that this movie isn't for everyone. You can tell from the reviews here how polarized the viewing audience is. For what it's worth, if this movie appeals to you, you will enjoy it immensely. If not, you'll hate it. There's not a lot of middle ground.

The movie is ultra-violent, yes, but in a cartoon violence way (if Bugs Bunny were R-rated that is) It's over-the-top, extreme, and comical. Yes, comical. Some of the kills are outright silly and laughable. That's what defines this movie.

The action is incredibly well choreographed. The scene involving the stairwell is just simply the most amazing action scene I think I've ever seen in a movie.

Will you like the movie? I don't know. But give it a try. You might despise it, and that would be understandable. I hated Sin City but love this, so go figure. I recognize the artistry behind it but don't actually like the movie. For Shoot 'Em Up, I loved both.

At the very least, even if you hate the movie, find the scene where Clive Owen is complaining about another driver not using his turn signal. That scene is laugh out loud funny and well worth seeking out in the movie!
