Review of Shoot 'Em Up (2007) by Vincent S — 08 Dec 2012
A completely over the top action film. Imagine every place you can conceive of to have a gun battle and I guarantee this film will add one or two to your list. Generally I treat this film as a dark satire of the old Stallone/Arnie films in that it pushes every cliche to its hilt.
Somber anti-hero,(check) hooker with a heart of gold (check), morally corrupt bad guy (check), groan inducing one-liners (check), non stop over the top gun acrobatics (check), and social commentary that hits with all the subtlety of a pneumatic drill in the crotch.
If you go in understanding the inside "joke", this is a fun ride your friends that "get it" will love you for; and the ones that don't "get it" will curse you for eternity.
