Shoot 'Em Up description Every action movie has a moment so over the top you have to laugh; Shoot 'Em Up consists of nothing but these moments. A carrot-eating, lone wolf kind of guy named Smith (Clive Owen, Children of Men, Inside Man) steps in to protect a pregnant woman from a gunman--and finds himself, with the aid of a lactating prostitute (Monica Bel ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Ridiculous action flick or political statement...? |
| This movie wastes no time letting you think about plots or characters or any of that Structure' that many movies drag out for 10 or fifteen minutes in order to establish character or some other thing they might teach you in film schools. Nope, this one goes right for the throat.
From the moment Clive Owen plunges a carrot into a bad guys eye and kills him (and this happens within the first five minutes) you know this movie is going to require a major suspension of disbelief. But with that out of the way, you can enjoy the most outrageous action movie ever put on film. Owen plays a homeless former Black Ops soldier who just stumbles on an assassination conspiracy dealing with small children being born for the use of their blood and bone marrow. I won't bore with the details but it does get complicated. In short, he's on the run with a baby in his hands. Obviously this guy has a conscious and a temper. Paul Giamatti plays the hitman who's trying to see the job through to the end until his men start getting killed off by this stranger who seems to be able to kill everyone who tries to kill him. Owen then tries to pawn off the baby on Hooker/Wet Nurse played by the ever-beautiful Italian Actress Monica Bellucci. The two end up running together, saving the baby and beating the bad guys. Now, you probably figured this might just be an over the top (yeah, it's way over the top) action flick. But an obvious statement starts to form as the movie goes on. Owen's character is the victim of loosing his wife and child to some gunman who walked into a restaurant one day and just started blowing people away. He later finds out he is indirectly responsible. His character is the son of an English gunsmith who moved to the US when The British got strict with their gun laws. He grew up with guns, was a very good marksman and was then recruited by the US Army. Worse yet, the democratic Senator who is running for President has a major gun control bill in the works. The bad guys seem to be a representation of the NRA and the good guy doesn't carry a gun...he just uses whatever is in reach most of the time. Now, I might be going out on a limb but it seems the movie turns into a big anti-gun statement. Am I wrong? Possibly, you'll have to watch for yourself and see. The movie is definitely entertaining and very funny at times. All three major actors do a great job, especially Giamantti and Owen. There really isn't enough seen of Bellucci, especially during a love making/shoot out scene (so outrageous) but could there ever be enough of her? |
