Shoot Em Up (2007)

Why? Why Clive Owen? Why Paul Giamatti? Why did you make such an awful, awful movie?

Shoot Em Up revolves around a guy, we'll just call him that because thats all he was to us. We had NO confirmation of his backstory, just some dude sitting on bench who can shoot a gun pretty fucking well and likes to eat carrots because they help his eye sight. Who see's a pregnant woman running and a guy with a gun chasing after her. The main story is that his Senator was manufacturing babies so they could give him a proper bone marrow transplant to pass a gun law in congress, of course it all being fully backed by a gun company. Yeah.......

This movie just goes no where for the hour and 20 minutes it lasts. I tried to sit there and tell my self thats its just a mindless action movie but i should not have to sit there and keep telling my self that to enjoy it. This movie was just plain awful, from the stupid and unnecessary action sequences to the fucking CGI blood. CGI blood people? Come on now.

Not to mention that the cliche and horrible dialog made me cringe a few times. I was even disappointed by Owens and Giamatti's performance in this movie. Giamatti is one of my favorite actors and this movie is up there with Big Fat Liar and Planet of the Apes. Please dont see this movie
