It was ok I enjoyed its over the top violence but the story is lacking if you want more of the same watch grindhouse it has better cgi and a more tight storyline all in all i would recommend it but I would never watch it again.

Though, I never thought the style completely suited the idiocy of the events as depicted. In something like, say, "Hardcore Henry," there's already this heightened element to the presentation that ultimately pairs with the ridiculous narrative. With "Shoot 'Em Up," you're given a mostly plain, drab looking aesthetic, with your slow-mo shots here, your shoddy CGI there, and a bevy of muted performances (aside from the always vibrant Paul Giamatti, of course). Overall, I wasn't that impressed by it, but I suppose the strikingly slim runtime did cushion the blow a tad. Expand

It looked pretty good. Nothing too exciting or noticeable. It was quite violent with blood and carrots flying around everywhere. I didn't like the mix at all.

It was quite violent with blood and carrots flying around everywhere. I didn't like the mix at all. Dialogue was badly prioritised and I was either struggling to hear what they were saying or being deafened by gunfire. It was too dynamic even for a shooting movie. Such a stupid story. It was truly unbelievable. It was too much! It wasn't like Crank (2006) which was good because it's story was so bad, it was more serious in the way it was shot but it was stupid in the story. I suppose that it was a bad cross between Léon (1994) and Crank (2006). It was really stupid and all the gun-play got boring very quickly. Not worth spending time with. Expand
