    Shoot em' Up.

    Before there was Wanted, The Losers, Red, and Kick-ass (the movie), there was Shoot Em' Up.

    This has to be one of the coolest movies that I have ever seen. The gun fights are top-notch, well choreographed, and bloody. The movie is full of those gun-fights and action all the way through, and I think it was the first movie to ever have two people having sex while gunfighting.

    The movie is simple, with the only plot I see the film having is that of a man trying to save a child from being killed by ruthless gunmen, and even though the characterization is lacking, Owen and Giamatti hold it down as Hero against Villain. I also liked the look of the film, with it's use of colors, lightening and such.

    I say that this is a good bloody fun film that I think everyone will enjoy, that's if you are into these simple bloody full of action types of films. It definitely doesn't take itself too seriously neither. 8/10, I know this is kinda high, but I feel that it was the film that actually kinda inspired those above, even if they were comic books before they were movies.

    Coming to think about it, was this a comic book before it was a film? Did you guys like this as much as I did.

    I saw this while working out at the gym one day. It was kind of stupid to me. But, that's only my opinion. Granted, the action was awesome and some of it was funny. Just wasn't really my kind of movie, but I enjoyed reading your thoughts on it.

    This is a great turn your brain off film. It was fast fun while keeping it simple. These are the type of action movie I actually like.

    First time my knife touched skin
    And the red blood started flowing so quick I just couldn't quit
    Kept stabbing until everything that I seen was red
    The pillow, the blankets, the walls, and even the bed
    One color dominating everything like contemporary art
    Am I the killer or artist with bloody heart?
    Then I curled into a ball in the corner of the room
    Feeling like a creep in the light of the moon

    Too much CGI and horrendous plot holes. Cool movie, but far from an 8/10.

    No way is this movie a 8/10. I found it stupid. There were some cool parts, but I wouldn't watch it again.

    I loved this movie, I put it in the same category as the Cranks, turn your brain off and have a good time via some ridiculous action. Also, Paul Giamatti is great as the villain

    I think some of you all are taking this too seriously. I mean if was a brainless action flick, something we need more of in Hollywood.

    I think there is enough brainless movies out there already.

    I agree with most. It is a great action flick if you are looking for just gun play. I did enjoy this flick
