Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci star. Also included are deleted scenes, making of the film, 15 minutes of writer/director Michael Davis' original animatics, and more! For an action film, boasting a body count higher than its IQ isn't always a bad thing. In director and screenwriter Michael Davis's stylish SHOOT �EM UP, inventive set pieces, and tongue-in-cheek humor make for fun, fast entertainment. Clive Owen (CHILDREN OF MEN) plays Smith, a man who is minding his own business and chomping on carrots when he is forced to try to save a pregnant woman in trouble. After she is killed, he takes charge, keeping her newborn child safe from a snarling villain (Paul Giamatti, THE ILLUSIONIST). Aided by a prostitute (Monica Belluci, THE BROTHERS GRIMM), Smith shoots his way through the big city as he cradles the baby in his arms.
Davis hails from the same school of thought as fellow directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Like those filmmakers, Davis doesn't take the medium too seriously, as he pays homage to action classics and peppers the film with playful dialogue and set pieces. This film might not be the standard choice for an Oscar-nominated actor such as Giamatti, but he's clearly enjoying his role as the bad guy, and it's just as much fun for the audience. With SHOOT �EM UP, Davis has crafted a movie full of jaw-dropping action sequences sure to please fans of high-energy films from directors such as John Woo.

Shoot 'Em Up Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A very wild movie worth watching!
This movie was over the top, very wild, and I loved every minute of it! If you love action movies and don't mind it being over the top, I highly recommend this. I kept wondering how Smith would escape the villains, out-gun the villains, and all the trouble he goes through protecting the baby, who is later named Oliver in the movie. Michael Davis is an excellent writer and director and I think he is a very intelligent gentleman. I loved the lines, the gunfights were fun to watch and I thought they were cleverly orchestrated. Clive Owens was perfect for the role of "Smith." I couldn't wait to hear what he hated, how he handled the bad guys, and it was funny whenever he used his carrot as a weapon. Paul Giamatti portrayed a creepy and intelligent villain that made me nervous. He was the perfect foil for the character Smith. Monica Bellucci is a prostitute that transforms into a character that also protects the baby and becomes a caring mother. Great story, excellent characters, funny dialogues, awesome gunfights, and it is very well directed. I really enjoyed the movie from start to finish and I can't wait to watch it again!

 NOT BAD
It's ok as an action movie, it a little ridiculous at points but is cool none the less. It's more funny than I thought it would be. good buy

I love carrots!
Clive Owen again is incredible in this pulp action film.
I loved the photography and the action.
It was a little over the edge on the body count. Sorta like "Commando" was with Arnold.
But it was well filmed and executed.
Thanks

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This role is so Clive owen!Stick with action!!!
This movie's perfect for Clive owen.Ever since Sin city I thought that he'd be a great action star,and I was right.My only complaint is his bad attitude.He kind of has a big chip on his shoulder in this movie,and is not a very confident person,so hence that makes a very cr!ppy role model for anybody.So other than that I loved the action,and the storyline was okay.But everyone know's action movie's are about action.The storyline don't have to be really deep.Just blood,and explosions.SO I'd like to see a sequal I just hope they fix his attitude a bit on that one...

$14.39
The early 2000s have seen a string of big-budget remakes of classic horror films. In addition to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES, John Carpenter's benchmark slasher flick HALLOWEEN has been given a new-millennial overhaul. At the helm of the project sits rocker Rob Zombie, whose previous films, HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES and THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, brought a fan's touch and an auteur's vision to the director's chair. While Zombie's HALLOWEEN is faithful to Carpenter's vision, there are some obvious changes, the most pronounced of these being the substantial focus on Michael Myers's childhood. The film posits Michael (played by a creepily ...

Based on the Elmore Leonard story, 3:10 TO YUMA is a riveting remake of the 1957 classic Western. It's the story of Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a down-and-out rancher who lost his leg in the Civil War. With a wife and two sons, he is struggling to put food on the table, and unable to make payments on his land. When the notorious gunman Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) is apprehended nearby, a few local men are needed to escort him to the town of Contention so he can be put on the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison. Few will volunteer for the job, as they know that Wade's ruthless gang will follow them, but Evans sees an opportunity to make some fast cash, and offers to go in exchange for $200. The small team of men set off, and are later joined by Evans's young son William (Logan Lerman), who has run away from home to join them. What follows is a race against time, as the group tries to get to Yuma without the clever and dangerous Wade outsmarting them.
Crowe is fantastic as the smooth-talking gunman, and Bale delivers ...

$9.79
It's three years after the action of RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE, and the world has turned to desert in this third film based on the now-classic video game RESIDENT EVIL. Survivors of the zombie-making T-virus are few and far between, but Alice (Milla Jovovich) treks her way across the desolate landscape, fending off zombies and fighting the Umbrella Corporation. Not only is the company responsible for the virus and the state of the world, but their experiments also turned Alice into a super-human fighting machine. She reunites with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) when she joins with a caravan of people led by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter, HEROES). Together, the band battles the undead as they make their way to the promised safety of Alaska.
The zombies of RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION have more in common with the fast-moving fiends of 28 DAYS LATER than with the lumbering creatures of George Romero's classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. However, this film doesn't limit itself to human zombies; instead, there's horror to be found in undead dogs and crows. But none of these are any ...
