Shoot Em Up is SO FUN. It's insane, and it has the cheapest, cheesiest one-liners after every big action scene, and I love it. I love it so much. So many carrots! Booby-traps like Home Alone! Clive Owen puts bullets between his fingers and uses a fireplace to shoot them! This is the most out of character movie that I love.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully ridiculous action film that leans into its own absurdity, a grizzled gunman becomes an unlikely father figure while bullets fly at a relentless pace. It's maximalist mayhem wrapped in deadpan humor and a surprising amount of heart.
