I am not usually an enthusiastic fan of violent action films, but this one really stood out as more original, visually captivating, and with a wicked sense of humor. Another reason I actually list it among my all time favorite guilty pleasure films, might be that I watched it at about 2am after coming off of anesthesia for an operation. I bet this would be an amazing film to watch after a few large drinks or some now occasionally legal pot.. Lol.
Even at midday, during subsequent viewings over the years, I still marvel at the ballet of gun violence but after the shootings in CT in 2012, I worry that a lot of folks with real automatic guns like Hertz and crew are glorified as anti heroes. Nonetheless, Giamatti was a brilliant pick for the bad guy and Monica is deelicious...literally, as DQ. Clive Owen is my kind of action star, too.
NOPE. YOU ARE *NOT* THE ONLY SHOOTEM UP FANBOY.. by far...

You kidding? I wish to GOD they'd hired this guy to direct Max Payne.

There were no "automatic guns" used at Sandy Hook, nor in any other mass shooting. But, your inability to discern the difference between them, and obvious lack of knowledge about guns in general DOES explain your poorly placed admiration for this complete turd of a movie.

WOW, where did that comment come from?
I saw no previous reference to Sandy Hook, nor automatic weapons.
I'm guessing that you hail from the US of A, so I'll bow to your superior knowledge of guns - but name just a couple of movies where gunfights are shown realistically/factually

I like it too. People need to know what they're getting into when they watch Shoot 'Em Up, and then it's very enjoyable.

Every film needs to be deep and thought-provoking, amirite? Everyone should also think and look alike, all uniform and neat.

You are too dumb to use sarcasm mate, people with an actual argument don't need to put words in the opposing side's mouth, I never so much as implied I considered this movie sh!t because it wasn't deep and "thought-provoking".

I do however expect a movie to not be completely retarded, which this movie clearly is to any intelligent creature.

[–] jesatsu 10 years ago

As opposed to your "movie is completely retarded" argument, amirite? Sure showed me.

You're wrong. Viewing things for what they are is a trait of an intelligent person. You seem to be lacking this trait. You don't hit the city a Friday night with the aim of an intelligent conversation.

Try appreciating the world for what it is, it will brighten your day.

I'm with you, too. In fact, when playing Left 4 Dead with my friends, and we die numerous times, I like to yell "My God! Do we really suck, or are these zombies really that good?!"

Know that, thank you, next question.
