What I love about this movie is the simplicity of the plot, the ridiculous fight scenes, pointless violence, and a ridiculous plot. Shoot'Em Up embodies all the great qualities one would look for in a great action movie. This movie is kind of like a Satire/Tribute to my favorite movie genera. Now for people who are not huge action fans , and could care less about another Rambo movie then you will probable hate this movie. To me this movie is kind of a clash between Natural Born Killers, Live Free Die Hard, and the James Bond movies. Although I love action their was one scene were he was falling out of an airplane that looked so unrealistic, that I couldn't believe it was put in the movie.
So the plot (as if it really matters) is a guy who sees this pregnant woman in trouble, so he steps in and kills a crap load of assassins trying to kill her and her baby. After killing the pregnant movie the man takes it upon himself to protect the baby. So basically this bad buy Paul Giamatti (who does a good job playing a sick and twisted killer) goes around with lots of guys with guns to kill this guy who is known as Smith. Well thats pretty much the whole plot, oh and their are lots of shoot outs hence the name "Shoot'Em up".
