Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Mike LeMar This one's a little overrated; I wouldn't call it "solid". While the action scenes are clever and certainly entertaining, they're also unrealistic, like when Clive Owen's sitting by the fireplace and raises the bullets between his fingers up to shoot Paul Giamatti, he'd burn the back of his hand. That stunt would be almost impossible to pull off because if the butt of the bullets is heating up enough for them to fire, the back of his hand would be feeling the same and he wouldn't be able to take it. His cute little punch line that Paul's gotten it right that he's dead doesn't even hold true because it didn't kill him.
cutesd First, I need to make one thing abundantly clear, this movie is the definition of over-the-top. Nothing in this film is intended to be believable on any level. So if you like action films that have a lot of depth and realism ... this is not your film. But if you can buy in to what this film is selling you are in for one hell of a wild ride. The fight scenes are extremely creative and well choreographed, it's really well acted, it has a decent plot, and best of all it doesn't take itself seriously.Do yourself a favor, put your logical brain on snooze for 90 minutes and enjoy!
Nicolas F. Costoglou ...that's the whole description you need for this movie...no really there isn't much to talk about. "Shoot em' up" is a very simple but incredibly fun and cartoony action movie, that never tries to be something else.The one-liners are cheesy, the action is so over-the-top that i can 't compare it to something else i've seen, and the plot is so paper- thin that the movie just starts, without introducing anything, you press play and it just goes without stopping.The first shot of the movie is Clive Owen looking intensely into the camera and than munching on a huge carrot, while sitting on a bench seemingly without any reason, and then the plot just comes to him...quite literally.And the Elmer Fudd of our picture is played by Paul Giamatti, who is more psychotic as ever, it's amazing, and disgusting to watch.The action is the selling-point of the film and man does it never holds back. In one scene Clive Owen sleeps with Monica Belucci and shoots some bad guys, while doing it. In another scene he jumps out of a plane and has a skydiving-shootout with some bad guys...you won 't believe it until you see it... Only downside is the editing, which is at times a bit too fast and sometimes you don't really know where all the people are in the room, but because of the cartoony nature and the fun moments it's not too bad.The most interesting part is that it works, strangely enough, the weak characterization and the cartooniness of the film work in it's advantage, at the end it get's down right touching and intense, you really begin to care for what's going on, and enjoy the experience...at least i did.All in all "Shoot em' up" does all it set out to deliver, and even more, it's pure entertainment and incredibly fun...
gojiseb Shoot 'Em Up is good, silly over the top fun. Clive Owen makes for a good enough lead, Paul Giamatti is a great weirdo villain and Monica Bellucci, Julian Richings and Stephen McHattie round out a pretty solid supporting cast.The soundtrack is fantastic (Motorhead, Iggy Pop and Devin Townsend!!) and the action is appropriately over the top. It does have some pretty wonky pacing (for a movie that's only 86 minutes, it feels pretty long) which hinders its re-watch value for me, but it's not a big enough flaw for me to think any less of the film.Overall, Shoot 'Em Up is a pretty hard film to hate. It's just filled with too much raw energy to not be entertained for its entire runtime.
