4.0 out of 5 stars 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!

I’ll check out anything with Clive Owen. I think he was great in ‘The International’, but it only got a 6.5 in IMDB. Might be too complicated for most? This is for sure a ‘shoot’em up’, almost comical – graticule shootings. Short on dialog and the plot has a very weird political twist which was, well, convoluted at best. I found this movie from MythBusters show where they show that you CAN NOT spin a kids merry-go-ground with a 9mm or even a shotgun with a deer slug. But that’s just Hollywood trying to make things interesting. Good for one viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shoot 'em -- Up? Down? Sideways?
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2012

What a wonderful piece of mind candy. Just remember, this movie is a spoof -- a comedy. A carrot-chomping, dark-souled hero (Clive Owen) who was national pistol champion at age ten? Of course he's got to win against each and every bad guy. Thus, with his first wave of thugs destroyed, the evil-doer (Paul Giamatti) hears that it's only going to be possible to scrape together another "fifty" to finish off the lone hero.

As something maybe akin to mockumentary, "Shoot 'Em Up" takes what's real from the action thriller genre and creates a brilliant parody. The action scenes, chases, gun-bursts, and all the effects seem as though they belong. We might expect Charles Bronson, Steven Seagal, or Vin Diesel to appear at any moment. Instead, Clive Owen carries the day, stuffing more than one baddie with a quick carrot through the brain. Seriously! Dozens more fall in various hails of gunfire or stunningly improvised booby traps.

A good many action-thriller cliches get taken over the top -- the bordello gunfights, the mutual redemption of the anti-hero and the fallen woman, a crusader politician who proves more than susceptible to betraying the cause, arms dealing, and the perpetual search for a truly safe hideout.

Of course, in this "mock-u-thriller" the love-making that seals the deal in the mutual redemption between our protagonists reaches its culmination in hail of gunfire with black-clad gunmen falling on all sides. First, think Jack Nicholson's "Triumph" scene with Sally Struthers in "Five Easy Pieces." Then, turn the scene into a Ninja attack and allow Clive Own to use an automatic rifle as he swirls Monica Bellucci to ecstasy. For the double-dealing politician, "Shoot 'Em Up" makes short work of the obligatory struggle on the chartered airliner. Clive Owen pretty quickly takes the politician hostage, holding off Paul Giamatti and assorted thugs just long-enough to get into the cargo hold, where he plugs his hostage between the eyes and jumps into an extraordinary sky-diving gunfight, thus creating yet another labor shortage in the thug market.

A few last takes on these mock-u-thriller touches: The tank on display in a military exhibition provides the safe house for Monica Bellucci and the infant, who is the real target of the thugs. The "not-airlines-trains-ships-buses" escape for Bellucci and the child is cunningly labeled the bus to "Wherever." Clive Owen stays behind to kill off a final wave of thugs, the "super boss," and Paul Giamatti The happy reunion bringing Clive Owen, Monica Bellucci, and their adopted infant back together takes place in the roadside restaurant where Bellucci and the infant have gone to ground -- in the midst of foiling a robbery attempt by a gang of seriously armed thugs.

Clive Owen, Monica Bellucci, and Paul Giamatti are fabulous at carrying through straight-faced with their schtick. What a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shoot Em Up Delivers the Bacon.,..
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2009

You can easily see why the critics had such a hard time reviewing this film... The action is so over the top. But then this is EXACTLY why I wanted to purchase and watch this very film. The action is the best thing about it, as promised. This film will never be Jane Austen, it will never be Aliens...
It is itself, a wry, knowing, tongue-in-cheek , non-stop-romp through the the ways to shoot and be shot, with, of course, a little humour.

The plot works as a vehicle with which to hang the action on... What more do you want ? If I can watch Arnie, Sly and Segal batter people and blow them up with little acting skill yet become natural-born-artists when in a dodgy situation that involves killing and or lots of guns.

The modern production values and camera angles provide a great deal of amusement and the idea that we enjoy not only the shooting but the choreographed nature of the killing brings great pleasure... If the final battles in Kill Bill bore you through repetetiveness then that does not happen here. Each killing zone is perfectly planned and different from the last; and also perfect in its method of killing.

So to sum up... ever get the feeling hollywood films had lost the plot on violence ? Well here's the antidote..... Just sit back, watch and enjoy some of the crazyiest and most enjoyable shooting scenes ever committed to celluloid.
