Negative Positive
Title: Bizarre
Review: I was expecting something along the lines of Crank and Smokin' Aces, two other over-the-top action movies that I actually enjoyed, but Shoot 'em Up left me disappointed. This flick still had all the action that you can squeeze into an action movie and then some but, while taken to excess, it wasn't as engaging or interesting as the two previous movies and the acting was so bad it actually hurts to watch (except for Paul Giammani, who I enjoyed).Now I understand that Shoot 'em Up is supposed to be a bizarre, over-the-top movie where action reigns supreme and things like plot, scripting and acting are second seat but the action itself wasn't enough for this movie to stand on. Nothing about it was new, innovative or engaging, it was just dumb, balls-to-the-walls stupidity and I don't know if that was by design or not. It is quite possible that I just missed what the movie was trying to be...
