Shoot Em Up

It is good that I saw this in the heels of Wanted. There were probably 100 people shot in Shoot Em Up and only about two were graphic, CG shots. This is what I was looking for in Wanted. So it goes. Otherwise, this was a decent summer flick. It was so sensational in its plot lines that it did not even try to take itself seriously. An excellent example of nodding to the silliness that you are producing, and enjoying the ride. For example, putting a 2 day old baby in a bullet proof jacket, when that baby has already been carried through a glass window (after jumping off a building) and survived a car chase while laying on the front passenger floor shows the level that this movie is going for. And perhaps indicating just how wide my 3-star range is...
3-stars
