DESCRIPTION
Newline Shoot 'Em Up Blu-ray A man named Mr. Smith Owen delivers a woman's baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn fromthe army of gunmen.
Every action movie has a moment so over the top you have to laugh; Shoot 'Em Up consists of nothing but these moments. A carrot-eating, lone wolf kind of guy named Smith Clive Owen, Children of Men, Inside Man steps in to protect a pregnant woman from a gunman--and finds himself, with the aid of a lactating prostitute Monica Belluci, The Matrix Revisited, defending the newborn child from a sleazy contract killer Mr. Hertz Paul Giamatti, American Splendor, Sideways and his army of thugs. That's pretty much the plot, but story is beside the point. Writer/director Michael Davis Monster Man has a keen sense of what matters in an action movie. The rapid-fire editing is scrupulously coherent; you always grasp what happened in every shoot-out, even if it flagrantly violates the laws of physics or basic plausibility. Explaining how Smith survives a four-story fall--even if that explanation is beyond ridiculous--demonstrates both a sense of wit and a winking respect for the audience's imagination. As a result, Shoot 'Em Up is ten times more entertaining than the likes of Transformers or Rush Hour 3, movies so self-satisfied with special effects or movie stars that they forgot to be fun. Shoot 'Em Up's only weakness is a sliver of misogyny, the one action movie cliche that it's not clever enough to transcend. --Bret Fetzer
