Shoot 'Em Up

I got Shoot 'Em Up from Netflix the other day and this movie was evrything it advertised to be. Gratuitous violence, cheese one liners, ridiculous plot developments, death by carrot - it had it all.

Shoot 'Em Up stars Clive Owen as the mysterious Smith. Smith sees a pregnant woman being chased by armed thugs and helps her out. After she gives birth, more bad guys show up and Smith then spends the rest of the movie evading the bad guys, let by Paul Giamati. Giamati was hamming it up as the sadistic bad guy trying to kill the baby.

This movie is a totally over the top action movie, and doesn't try to pretend to be anything else. This is kind of like Crank in that sense.

4/5
