Load your guns, take a bite of carrots, undo the lids, and let's set off with Smith. Just be careful of one important task: turn off your brain. That's a phrase that's annoying, overused, and almost hated by me, but there's no other way here. I haven't found such a brutally convoluted plot in an action movie yet. That's kind of how Crank was overdone, slightly crazy, and therefore infinitely enjoyable. Shoot 'Em Up is insane. Mostly entertaining, but occasionally unfortunately unbearable. It's partly because of Paul Giamatti's somewhat boring immortality, Clive Owen's invincibility, and especially Monica Bellucci's bursting appeal, which compels you to dig your nails into the armrest and pray for more carrots with every adorable line. When Owen looks mean and starts wreaking havoc with any weapon he finds, there's something to watch. It just needed a tangled, thorough final scene. Like this, I'll happily discuss some successful sparks or adrenaline-raising banter between the villain and the hero, but none of it will stay with me for long. Although I must admit that expecting a lot from the movie here was my mistake alone.

Afortunadamente, esta película es tan divertida como estúpida. Inspirada en Hard Boiled (Hervidero) de Woo, esta película presenta entretenimiento de acción continua para fanáticos acríticos de las películas de acción de la década de 1980 y los éxitos del rock clásico. En cuanto a mí, preferí a Paul Oakenfold en la escena con coches y un niño pequeño en el camino. Es interesante ver a Clive Owen repetir su papel de Hijos de los hombres en una película tan diferente, y le sienta igual de bien.

El mayor punto positivo de esta película reside en la promoción de la zanahoria como verdura con beneficios para la salud humana. Fue precisamente esta concienciación la que salvó el desperdicio, el hecho de que realmente me gusta Clive Owen y el hecho de que Paul Giamatti es un actor muy bueno. De lo contrario, no puedo encontrar ni una pizca de calidad. El guión parece haber sido escrito por un adolescente de doce años con una leve discapacidad mental, los diálogos son absolutamente terribles, todas las líneas son infinitamente ridículas, las escenas de acción son cursis y su contribución a la cinematografía mundial, y por extensión a las películas de acción, es igual a cero. Me apena que Clive Owen haya aparecido en algo así, si sigue así, su mejor actuación será un anuncio de veinte segundos para Lancome-Hypnose. ¿Y por qué la exageración aquí me molestó tanto a diferencia de algo como The Courier? Porque para Jason Statham, eso es lo máximo, pero de Clive Owen esperaría mucho más.

I really enjoyed this. Stylish, but above all a parody, very much a parody. Awash with testosterone to the point that it can't be taken seriously for even a split second. It flies in all directions, sometimes toward Bond, other times toward Tarantino. I had fun, and except for a few cardboard scenes, the film is energetic and has a contagious appeal. Owen with carrots = love it. This film was made so you could turn off your brain and enjoy yourself. As stupid as MOTORHEAD hits and just as catchy. Fuck off fucking fuckers!

They say never overstep the mark. And in Shoot ‘Em Up they clearly forgot about this saying. Michael Davis had good intentions, but wasn’t able to get more out of them than slightly above average. And that’s mainly thanks to great actors, great wisecracks and new, original ideas. Maybe if someone else had filmed his screenplay. Maybe... I dunno... Mike Bay? :)

This film is a brilliant showcase of the current state of the middle-of-the-road commercial mainstream of Hollywood's wannabe cool modern production, and I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's pretty shitty. The film is full of cool quotes, the action is even more action-packed, the biggest tough guy is even tougher, and the sex bombs are even sexier (which is actually the only thing that didn’t bother me). If this mess was supposed to directly parody or imitate some famous films of the past, it failed. You won't see anything more stupid in the cinema this year. I don't understand those star names, I don't understand the incredibly confusing and bad action scenes, I don't understand this whole garbage wannabe stylish action flick. It might make you laugh at times, but certainly not in the right sense. A giant piece of crap.

"A bulletproof vest is a better investment than a cradle." It’s quite action-packed with an interesting villain, but not interestingly written or played. Paul Giamatti is just great. Clive Owen fits into his role well, a good tough guy. There are interesting moments, yet sometimes it’s also quite sterile. It's not as entertaining as it appears, but it occasionally grabs the viewer with its action sequences. I'm giving out some very high ratings today. Actually, no. For those poor special effects, I can only give it an average rating.
