    What?!

    Maybe I was just in the wrong mood when I watched this, but 'Shoot 'em up' has got my nod for the worst film of 2007. I probably wouldn't be so harsh if I had watched it on tv in the wee hours and it had starred 'actors' like Steven Siegal or Jean Claude Van etcccccc.... but the very fact that it features quality, top of their game thesps like Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti makes it a crying shame of a film. You could imagine it being a good fun action packed one-liner'thon but it is directed so badly with seemingly so little talent that it comes across as a massive missed opportunity. Every time a character muttered a witty retort (generally after an elaborately thought up but badly executed stunt), the line would just hang there as forced and embarrassing. I believe that the exact same script directed by someone like John Woo or Edgar Wright would have been able to make the action flow a lot better without making it look like kids playing guns in the playground. Please avoid. Monica Bellucci is still easy on the eye though...

    Outrageous to say the least

    OUTRAGEOUS - its the only word i could say when i came out of the cinema.

    its hard to say i loved this as its so far fetcheded, so cheesey, and so unbelievable and i can kinda understand how people dont like it (mygirlfriend hated it) - but it does it in such a way that even though its so unbelivable its great!!!!!!

    u have to to take it for what it is a film about shooting as many people as possible - and when u do that its such an entertaining, fast paced 80 mins i thought it was thoroughly entertaining and was buzzing when it finished.

    there are many films that try to be something else and fail so badly but this film KNOWS exactly what it intends to do and delivers it on a silver plate - u may hate it u may like it but u still have to go to see it to believe the hype about it - ive never seen a film where so many people have their lives ended by a carrott - had me in stitches
