Amazon.com:
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

- Just a good fun time!!!!!!
If your looking for a cheesy good time, then look no further then SHOOT 'EM UP. Just balls to the wall action and hillarious scenarios that seem to impossible. Don't watch if you want a plot and a good story cause you wont find that here, just sit back and enjoy some smart mindless action.

Rating:

- I think this movie used up all the bullets.
Clive Owen plays the cliched nameless man who can kill a dozen men just by waving a gun vaguely in their direction (while bullets slide off him - save the mandatory upper-arm-flesh-wound). He has bad one-liners, an unusual habit, he's super-smart and underneath it all he's a big softy.

Monica Bellucci doesn't seem to put much effort in. I think this role was a mistake for her as the hooker isn't likable and doesn't have any depth.
Paul Giamatti's bad guy would be better if he ... Read More

- Will there be a Shoot 'Em Up II?
To answer the title question, WHY? This is a film to watch with tongue firmly in cheek, just for the romp and black Humor. It imitates film noir but only for fun.

Rating:

- Goofy, funny, non-stop "Shooting-Fest." All in the name of fun.
I enjoyed every loud, gunfire-blasting moment of this movie. Paul Giamatti (Mr. Hertz) is an evil, foul-mouthed crack-up, occasionally on the phone with his wife during gun battles. A perfect foil to Clive Owen's (Mr Smith) dark, gun-toting, sure-fire bad-guy killing demeanor. Monica Bellucci as Donna Quintano, the prostitute is as beautiful as ever. A myriad of predictable shootout chiche's as you'll ever see in a movie. Which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Rating:

- Come with me if you want to live!
Shoot 'Em Up is an over the top, tongue-in-cheek homage to '80's action flicks. The action is just so unbelievable and audacious you will laugh at the nerve the director had.

Clive Owen is great as a straight-faced, carrot munching 'man of mystery' who always has just the right bad one-liner.

Paul Giamatti must have had such a good time filming this one. He makes such a good heavy/mid-level manager.

I'd recommend it if you can handle extreme violence with your ... Read More
