Shoot Em Up!

 

TITLE-Shoot 'Em Up

SOURCE-Lionsgate Blu ray

I never seen anyone mention this modern action classic. Clive Owens sees a woman give birth. Then people trying to kill her baby. So the rest of the film is Clive protecting this new born.

Seems a Senator that is running to President is using babies for their bone marrow. And someone this is also connected to a plot to change gun laws.

Really this is a film you watch and don't really care much for the plot. It is a pure spectacle of violence and action. With many scenes feeling like they are out of some PS2 era video game. 

Clive Owens is great as the lead. Playing him similar to to how Clive was in Sin City. Paul Giamanti isn't his normal comedic self. Nope this film he is a pure evil piece of shit. Took me way too long to realize the lead female is Monica Bullucci. Her part sadly she isn't given much to work with.

If you grew up on all the great 70s and 80s action movies this is one to track down and see.

Shoot Em Up gets a B+
