Shoot 'Em Up

Post by Skywalker »

I recently watched Shoot 'Em Up starring Clive Owen. If you want to watch an all action film that has a poor story and plot but with plently of violence then watch QOS. If you want to watch a good looking lead actor star in an all action film that has a poor story and plot but with plently of violence then watch Shoot 'Em Up.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

The main difference in the film apart from the lead actors was that I actually enjoyed Shoot 'Em Up.

I thought this was good fun. It was a spoof of action films and deliberately OTT but unlike QoS it had a good villain and some laughs. Daniel Craig was absent too which is always a plus for me.

Haven't seen it, but it sounds fun (apologies if my use of the f-word offends the pro-Craigers).

:lol: They are miserable gits.

Shoot Em Up is great fun. I think it was supposed to be tongue in cheek. Jackman, Owen and Bale do make some wonderful films. I think Daniel Craig should get a new agent.
Bring back Bond!
