Shoot 'Em Up

Clive Owens (The Inside Man and the upcoming Elizabeth: The Golden Age) is back with his latest action film Shoot 'Em Up. Owens plays a man named Mr. Smith, who wants to be left alone in life until he runs into a pregnant woman being attacked by thugs and then has to deliver her baby during a shootout. Mr. Smith then, has to protect the child after the child's mother was murdered by an eccentric deceitful hit man (Paul Giamatti) and his numerous henchmen. Will Mr. Smith survive this mess and protect the baby. Michael Davis (Monster Man) directed the film with Monica Bellucii co-staring. Shoot 'Em Up was a fun action movie to. I thought the action sequences and the editing of this film were much better than in War, a movie I reviewed a couple of weeks ago. Clive Owens seems to be one of those actors that seem to do no wrong, in his selection of films. He was the perfect choice to play Mr. Smith in this film, as he greatly projects that tough guy image that's needed in these noir/pulp films. Both he and Paul Giamatti had great chemistry together onscreen. I was nice to Paul Giamatti play something that's different from what he has been doing as of lately and he does it well. Fans of Grindhouse and Sin City will enjoy this film a lot. Shoot 'Em up is a high octane action film that won't leave you disappointed.

This was a good movie that didn't have much of a theatrical run. That's a shame considering the cast involved. Thanks for your review!
