Shoot 'Em Up

Just watched Shoot 'Em Up at Cine with Daryl. Shoot 'Em Up is purely an action film with a ludicrous storyline. However, this movie is original in its action sequences and cinematography.

I'm a little lazy to write so many movie reviews so i'll just copy the storyline from RT.

"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 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. Aided by a prostitute (Monica Belluci), Smith shoots his way through the big city as he cradles the baby in his arms.

Davis pays homage to action classics and peppers the film with playful dialogue and set pieces. With Shoot 'Em Up, Davis has crafted a movie full of jaw-dropping action sequences sure to please fans of high-energy films."

Shoot 'Em Up is a totally entertaining film with the stylish gunfights; Clive Owen redefines coolness in his role as the unwilling hero that dispatches bullets faster than the blink of an eye, while Monica Belluci is sensual yet comedic in her role as the loving caretaker of the baby.

The pacing of the movie is very fast but the movie duration is a tad too short at a length of 87 mins. I wish there was more action although my eyes had already feasted on loads.
