WORST FILM EVER

A Customer from London, 16th February, 2008

This is one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune to watch. It felt like it was written and directed by a 13 year old boy. No depth at all to this film. Ridiculously over the top, but without wit or charm. Avoid like the plague.

Never has a title been so apt.

BenBrowne from from Brighton, 8th May, 2008

Right, before we start- let's analyse the title for a minute. It isn't called 'The Death Zone' or anything rubbish like that- it's called 'Shoot 'Em Up'. Surely this gives people an idea of the sort of meta-level this film is on. It's basically a John Woo film boiled down to its purest elements. It's got some black humour, some genuine ingenuity and Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti seem to be having a great time. If you like gunfights galore, this is the film for you.

Hilarious

ihaventgotanickname from from ASHFORD, 10th April, 2008

I think some of the reviewers of this film may have missed the point with this film. It's not meant to be serious, it's just a very funny adrenaline rush. From the idiotic carrot trademark to the totally unbelievable shoot outs, it takes tongue in cheek to new level. Watch this with a few beers and a few mates and not as a as a cynical film critic and you'll have a great evening. Enjoy!

fabulous

Jeffa from , 20th September, 2008

I have seen films taking the mickey out of others like Scary movie etc but this one actually laughs at itself. It has a good flow and a black humour you usually associate with Tarrantino and Guy Ritchie. It has a concise and action packed monologue narative which invites you into the story. It invites you in from the very start and never stops. Even when the hero gets hurt its funny. It gives the illusiion of a hero who laughs in the face of evil. Yet it is just one gangster, a baby and a load of other gangsters.

Not to be taken seriously..

A Customer from Plymouth, 22nd January, 2010

This film was ok. It tried to be humerous and did have alot of shooting, as promised from the title! However, it did not quite grab my attention andi did find myself leaving the room a couple of times but still being able to keep up with the very cringe worthy plot.

Drivel, absolutely insane, inane drivel.

atrunkfield from , 14th January, 2010

If you enjoy random pointless activity with guns, then this would probably acheive 1 star, but if you prefer your films to have either of the following then avoid this at all costs...what the hell was Clive Owen thinking?!!: 1. Plot, or some semblance of one 2. Believable characters - or even, at a push, some sort of characterisation. There is very little in the way of believability in any part of this film. The worst part is, as a parent, you'll very quickly realise that the baby, central to the film's reason for being, would probably have died from malnutrition within the first 20 minutes of the film, either that or shaken baby syndrome. Why seek out a prostitute wet nurse if all she's going to do is feed the newborn baby food only suitable to a 6 month old child? Absolutely nuts. Did I mentione that it's also got guns in?

Codswallop

A Customer from London, 10th November, 2008

I can't comprehend that there are people who liked this movie. It is the biggest load of tripe I have ever witnessed in my life. Neither funny or clever just plain rediculous. Clive Owen is just playing himself as per usual...a dullard. And as for Monica Belucci and her unattractive pouting, plays a lactating prostitute...yes you read correctly a lactating prozzie. I turned if off nearly half way through and if it was not a rental copy I would have tossed it, frizby style from my top floor flat into the nearest pond.
