Shoot em Up

Post by Tyek »

Great over the top movie. Clive Owen is great and the action is non-stop. If you go into the movie knowing it is pure action then you should have a great time.
8/10

I was munching on carrots for weeks after seeing that movie.

LOL Noel

That movie was like the Transporter on steroids. I am going to show it to the wife tonight. She is not a big action movie fan, but she loved the Transporter movies so I think she will enjoy. It was so over the top it was fun. From the bedroom scene to the skydiving.

I hope it finds an audience on DVD so they can make some sequels.

Knowing exactly what it was trying to be as I was going in, I found it to be an immensely entertaining action movie.

It's not going to win any awards for plot or acting or anything, but I quite enjoyed it.

I saw this the other night. I was entertained throughout. It was the perfect action movie.
