How much fun does Shoot`em Up look?

Just watched the trailer for Shoot`em Up and it looks fantastic. Clive Owen is great as is Paul Giamati, who looks insane in this:D

Is it just me or Monica Belushi look younger and fitter than she ever has?

Regards
Bryan

Come on, you don`t think it looks even remotely fun?. It`s one of those films you can look forward too and know your going enjoy it without having to invest too much thought into it.

I don`t mind `hang your brain up at the door` stuff at all, and Paul Giamatti is usually good value, however, the originality quotient of this looks like being zero and I`m still not convinced that Clive Owen can really act at all (not seen much of his recent stuff, admittedly).

Casino, Children Of Men, The Hire..

This looks like pure mindless fun. :)

Could be a great companion piece to Smokin Aces

I`m with Cassius - looks like it`ll go well with Smokin Aces (leave the thinking outside!)

I wasn`t to fond of Smokin Aces, it started off well, then it just went up its own arse after 20 minutes, to the point that I couldn`t care less about any of the characters.

simply bored witless by the entire saga of Luke Skywalker.... I thought Star Wars was dull, Empire was better, Jedi was worse.

Has anyone watched this?

I turned it off after about 5/10mins tonight. Couldn`t get into it.

Is it worth sticking with it if I didn`t like that opening part?

I`ve heard of comparisons to Crank and Smokin Aces, but I thought it was a lot more ridiculous in the beginning part I watched.

I liked Crank but didn`t particulary enjoy Smokin Aces, although this wasn`t due to the ridiclousness but more the fact that it was so uneven and a lot of pointless characters that caused the film to go off on mad tangents.

Done exactly the samething mate. Switched it off just a Paul Giamati showed up. I`d been looking forward to this but those first 5 minutes are just painfully bad.

I think it was the carrot that done it.

That carrot gets more of a look-in. I`ve heard this film described as `It knows it`s ridiculous, so it`s good".

No, it`s crap. utter s***e
