Peculiar.

Under discussion:

Shoot 'Em Up  (2007)

Imagine if the big ending in Hot Fuzz got turned in to an almost-2 hour movie, but more ridiculous.

Then make that movie a whole lot stupider and you get this one.

It wasn't bad... I guess. It was well made. Roughly every action scene had a gimmick and each one was clever. Mostly, though, the movie was fucking weird. Weird that it got made, weird that someone could think of it in the first place... everything that happened was weird...

If it had been half an hour shorter it might have played as a brilliant satire on modern action flicks... but it was too long, the plot (while retarded) was too talked-about, and the score was too serious. At some point in between writing scenes about sniping babies and having sex during giant firefights, he tried to make things make sense. And, again, it was just fucking weird.
