some of the comment leave by people on here show just how clueless movie goer can be . a if you can not tell that there a slight tongue in cheek feel to the movie . doesn not the stupidly high kill count or ott method use to kill people make that obvious to you . do a movie with the title shoot em up sound like a serious piece of work . come on some of you just need to relax and use your brain a little . i haven not much to say on the movie itself since it one of those entertain me but probably would not buy the dvd film i so often see in cinema . acting be good and action be good and plot be ok. go see it . if you love it great and if you do not oh well . it really be one of those kind of movie . just remember not expect a serious film reminiscent of james bond or die hard and ok .
