Shoot ‘em Up
Shoot ‘Em Up stars Clive Owen. He is one of my favorite actors in one of the most craziest films I have ever seen. Shoot ‘Em Up is an action/adventure film that keeps going from beginning to end. The movie plays on its title for sure.
Clive Owens portrays a man who gets involved in a really bad situation. Basically, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The film opens where Owens is sitting at a bus stop eating when a pregnant woman runs by him. She was running away from a man with a gun. He chased her into a building where Owens decides to try to help her. By doing so he kills the guy chasing her and helps her deliver her baby. At the same time they are being shot at by a group of other men that are wanting the woman killed. After giving birth, the woman gets shot in the head leaving her baby with her hero, Clive. He takes the child hoping to find a new home for him without success.
The film is completely filled with dark humor and well choreographed stunts. It is incredibly well directed by Michael Davis. I couldn’t stop watching the movie with the exception of a few harsh shooting scenes.
If you are looking for some great entertainment and action you must watch Shoot ‘Em Up. Great unrealistic movie but extremely easy to watch and at time very funny.
