- A depraved B(ullet) ovie that may not quite be John Woos wet dream, but which is good enough to make the maestro shift uncomfortably in his sleep

  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 ... read more »

  Does what it says on the tin...

  Witless and nasty when it should have been fun
  
  Shoot 'Em Up does what it says on the tin - over the top, video game style comedy violence. It's aimed firmly at 14 year old boys who aren't likely ... read more »

  Killing, chasing (and carrots ???)
  
  A pretty reasonable and pacey hour and a half, but despite a reasonable-ish plot, it unfortunately gets lost in a limbo between intended slapstick and serious ... read more »

  Absolutely atrocious
  
  Do NOT waste 80 minutes of your life watching this rubbish.
  
  It doesn't work at any level, I'm afraid.
