Great - Rating: 5/5
Fast delivery, no problems at all. And of course great movie. A few problems while watching the movie, but I'm pretty sure that's because of my old DVD player.
Seen it! - Rating: 4/5
I would only like possible stunts in my action films. Impossible stunts annoy me and make me mad. If I can't do it - no one can. I can't slide around holding a baby, shooting a gun - therefore it's impossible! I can't shoot a gun at a merry-go-round and make it spin - therefore it's impossible! I can't do battle while "getting it on" with my woman - therefore it's impossible! I can't even meet a woman - therefore it's impossible!
I only want to see movies that are original and I only want to see things done in movies for the first time - making it the MOST original. I'd never own a movie because I would have to see something I've already seen more than once. Talking in a movie - seen it! Shooting in a movie - seen it! Babies in a movie - seen it! Carrots in a movie - seen it!
Everyone says that Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars - well - I'll never know because I've already seen Phantom Menace and I don't need to see things I've already seen - because I've already seen it!
I never want to see any action EVER in a movie unless there is a strong reason as to why that action is taking place! If someone stands up in a movie - I want there to be proper context and back-story as to know why that person is standing up. If there isn't - it's lame!
I turned this movie off after 4-seconds (which I'm representing here with my 4-star review) because I've already seen what they were showing - and there was no proper context - and it made me so mad that I snapped the DVD in half and shouted at my television set for one-half hour!
Good day to you!
You would have to see me spelling my name on the snow! - Rating: 3/5
"Shot them up" is a smart parody, a funny evasion movie that must be seen only under these circumstances. The laughable plot simply is an artifice that works as huge back up for (How would we say?) the imaginative, amusing and certainly original sequences, car chases, aerial maneuvers and bizarre devices to face a devilish criminal web of conflicts and interests between a Senator and a bunch of ruthless gangsters. Clive Owen embodies the accurate blend of three well known personages of action since the seventies until the nineties: James Bond, Rambo and the officer Mac Lane, spiced with a touch of "Sin city."
At last instance , the movie seems to extracted from a script from Cohen brothers Quentin Tarrantino and Robert Rodriguez, , due the rampant audacious and the febrile kinetic energy displayed all the way through.
Violence and black humor in great doses, but besides, maternal love around a baby who seems to be quiet with the rock music works out as a mesmerizing feast for all those who seek to mesmerize themselves around the special effects universe.
But please; don't try to find out a minimal sense in this surrealistic movie. It's just another way to escape from the quotidian reality in which we are immersed and nothing, nothing else.
WHAT'S UP DOC? ANOTHER CARROT EATING CARTOON CHARACTER! - Rating: 4/5
Liking this film depends on how you look at it. This is a cartoon from beginning to end and anyone looking for realism, should look elsewhere. This is a fast paced and violent action film that doesn't take itself seriously, but does give the viewer a wild and adrenaline filled ride.
Clive Owen is well suited as the carrot eating, unstoppable killing machine who inadvertently becomes the protector of an infant who's mother is killed by dirt bags and want this baby! Paul Giamatti gives a equally colorful and humorous performance as the head dirt bag.
A intense and supercharged film with very little down time that should keep action fans eyes wide open from start to finish.
MY GIRLFRIEND LIKED IT...BUT IT REALLY SUCKED. - Rating: 2/5
Okay, I like over-the-top sometimes. But this was total eyecandy for stupid people. The new Bond flicks are 10 times better than this crap.
Stay away, Clive is taking all he can get. The carrot thing was really dumb as well. Not cute like my girlfriend thought. Maybe this is an Action/Chick flick?
Monica is just a smokin' hot mama, even at her age. But seriously,this is what the Bush Administration will be remembered for. Feed us crap, and tell us we should like it..... I like Monica.
This movie is for 12 year olds.
