shoot 'em up

I can't say it's a good story or a good film, but it's definitely a cool and exiting one. Everything is so cool, the firing, the sliding, the mouse to open the door, the apparatus. When the tough guy goes to a place with a child, a nun opens the door, but after the turnaround...you may see it by yourself.

C.Owen(King Arthur,SinCity),M.Bellucci(Malena,Matrix),P.Giamatti(Sideways) ), so many familiar faces in such a cult movie. I've been a little surprise since watching the film. How can he manage to afford these man's paying because I think the budget of films of this genre are always tight(except for those as famous as SinCity).

No matter what he's doing, Smith never stops shooting. He shoots while helping a woman bear a baby, making love, free fall and he even cut the umbilical cord of the baby with a shot. After the finger breaking, he still dont's stop the shootings.

It's extremely sensational as an action movie. Maybe it has some flaw on the plot or something but who cares. It's just a stunt show and the story is not important. You can't expect something that is perfect. If it has any aspect incredible, it's worthy watching. So, enjoy it, you may never despond if you like action movies.
