shoot’em up
As I do with Robin Williams, I tend to like movies with Clive Owen as well. I totally loved Children of Men and have been a follower ever since the BMW shorts. Supporting is another lovable in the form of stunning beauty – Monica Belucci. Paul Giamatti tries on a new costume as antagonist and hitman, and it fits fine.
Shoot’Em Up is a no-brain full speed action flick from first frame to last. Uma Thurman‘s character must be her most short-lived, since she’s outed in the first few scenes. Bad guys hunting her sees to that. Clive the hero, tries to save her, fails, but not until he delivers her newborn. Our hero of the day kills quite a few bad guys, saves the baby and flees to the lactating prostitute played by Monica where he kills some more bad guys and they both flee.
You see the basic storyline? Right, simple and straightforward, as it should be in a great actioner and this is definitely one of the best of 2007.
