Shoot 'Em Up —
Clive Owen handled the action scenes and acting very well and the plot was alright. Casting, costumes and sets were pretty good too. There was a lot of showy stuff done for effect though. From the fetishes to the one liners it was just too much. It was over the top and left me flat. The pace of the action was, perhaps, to quick for the timing on the one liners to work. Pause here, insert one liner.. maybe more the fault of direction or editing than other factors, but it might have been written in. I couldn't become invested and that made me less tolerant of some of the scenes with the baby and others with the carrots. I wasn't trying to see my watch in the dim light of the theater, but I like action films and this one I could easily have missed.Last edited on Jul 22, 2008
