move over and quentin t. and there a new sheriff in town . with shoot em up and director or writer michael davis take the over the top violent action film genre and blow a blood soak and mile wide hole in it good an proper and and that just in the first 5 minute and give or take a few . this film be violent and sure and but a i always say and it how a movie be do that make the difference . shoot em up proceeds from one dazzlingly outrageous scene to another with unflagging confidence and ton of panache and brilliantly warp humor and blazing originality and sweeping you and the lucky viewer and giddy and gleefully along . the casting be genius as well and begin with clive owen and who dead on here and with his ever present carrot in hand and rescue the ( adorable ) baby and get the girl and kill the bad guy ( who just keep come like derange vampire replicants ) and even solve the mystery from the most obscure of clue and all while complain about everything he hat and which range from people who do not use their turn signal to a pussy with a gun in his hand . and speaking of the great paul giamatti and he in monumentally fine form here a hertz and the self describe brilliant leader of the gunman . squallid and seedy beyond all comprehension and you just know he have a blast ( pun intend ) with this part . after prove in his last few outing that he can carry a film and play anything and he get to bask hardily in full venal mode and sneering and scowling and torture his way into our heart a only giamatti can . there a running bit in the film where his wife keep call him on his cell phone and usually while he in the midst of gun people down and and this have a really hilarious payoff toward the end one of the funny part of the movie and in my estimation . the film be shoot in stark and sharp tone and make it look like a comic book come to life more than any film i have ever see and while still use real actor . and there be sequence here that you have not witness before and speaking of that originality i mention earlier . the one which stand out most to me be the one where clive owen and monica bellucci ( also perfect ) be make love and the baddie bust in . in most film and this would pre empt the love making . in shoot em up and they continue the act and which actually culminate while the bullet be fly . work for me .
