The stunts, the gunwork is all top notch. Don't try to think this movie is meant to have character development and a sophisticated plot. Its supposed to be an orgy of violence and guns (with some good dialogue and sayings) and its awesome at what it does. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It's not realistic - every shot kills. I found it entertaining - it's doesn't have great acting and it's just a very basic plot. However, you don't have subtitles, flashbacks and there is an ending. Just a fun movie a - take it as it is. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Fun, gorefest, action packed, over the top, corny, stupid, no one would have survived that: type of movie. Watch it with a bunch of friends, a few drinks (before it starts), and you'll really enough this movie. Yes, there was no way anyone would have survived anything that happened in the movie, but it was MUCH MUCH better than the last Die Hard which was trying to be serious, but wasn't. This movie was not trying to be serious, and wasn't. FUN FUN FUN!!!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

How in the world they could made a comedy out of hundreds of people being shot to death I will never know. Shoot em Up is a great title because that is what you get from start to finish NON STOP ACTION. I will never look at carrots the same again, I did not know they could be so deadly LOL! I truely hope the producers didn't REALLY think this was supposed to be a serious movie, the acting was bad and the scenes were just too unreal. Worth a rent for an adrenaline pumping, action based, shoot em up, comedy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

My Dell desktop won't play it in VLC or WMP, neither will my HP laptop, nor will my Macintosh G5 desktop. The only device in my entire house that can actually play the disk is my Xbox 360.
I haven't watched the movie yet I just wanted to warn people about the copy protection Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More If "over the top action movie" is the Hollywood euphanism for "Crap action movie", then they've got it spot on. I can't believe Clive Owen, who is on his second attempt at hitting the big time and doing rather nicely would agree to be in this rubbish. The carrot eating, corny one liners and bad acting is not going to improve his chances at Oscar time. Avoid this movie like the plague unless you've just had a frontal labotomy, in which case it'll be right up your street.....enjoy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
