Shoot 'Em Up - Noelie - 01-02-2008
There was another thread about Shoot 'Em Up, but I decided to start a new one because the other had tons of (marked) spoilers and I didn't want people to have to close their eyes to read my post.
I watched Shoot 'Em Up last night and I have to say it's been a long time since I've had that much fun watching a movie. I see lots of good movies, even great movies, but this one was just so much fun to watch. The whole thing is absurd, but it knows it's absurd and makes no apologies for that fact. It isn't high art by any means, but boy was it entertaining.

Thanks for the tip, from the ad campaign I prejudged it a piece of crap. I'll give it a shot tonight on payperview.

You may still think it's a piece of crap.
It reminded me a bit of Planet Terror or Crank, if you've seen either of those. Total, over the top absurdity. It was just what I needed last night though!

I haven't seen it yet, so I checked about Shoot 'Em Up in imdb. Sounds good, but I'm sure it will be unrelease in Japan. Maybe I'll see it on DVD.

And the moral of the story is to at your carrots.
As Noelie stated, the movie goes so far over the top, but keeps its tongue planted firmly in cheek, that it is great fun. Check your mind and float downstream.

Today I saw Shoot 'Em Up and it was really fun movie. Some parts were ridiculous, but I enjoyed this movie.
My favorite scene, it was Smith found mother hit her son and Smith caught her and spanked the mother's butt. That was funny. :bigsmile:
