Summary: Don't Think, Just Shoot
Comment: Shoot 'em Up is an over-the-top homage to 25+ years of action movies. Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is a down on his luck, carrot-munching drifter who just happens to observe a preganant 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 manages to simultaneously glorify gun violence while preaching against it--think of it as an anti-gun gun movie. It manages to 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 unbelievability of the violence (especially the skill of Mr. Smith), 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 henpecked 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).

Summary: OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE ACTION SCENES. Non-stop shooting. Absolutely nonsense.
Comment: It oontains 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.

Summary: Horrid
Comment: 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.

Summary: Another Clive Own 'stinker'
Comment: 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.
