Shoot `Em Up [Clive Owen, dir Michael Davis]

[Carn]

Playing to a packed house in the LA suburb of Pasadena, I went on a roller coaster ride without a seatbelt that rivaled even the original DIE HARD. In a way that is the best comparison, only slightly more over the top.

Here is a checklist for a great action film

- movie star lone hero with a generic name (Clive Owen is Mr Smith) check

- great one liners that you can remember (“Nothing like a good hand job” “Talk about shooting your load”) check

- sexy piece of foreign ass who nudies up (Monica Bellucci) check

- action set pieces that you have never seen before (shoot out during sex…. Gun puppetry… ) check

- a bad guy who keeps on giving (Paul Giamatti) check

- a soundtrack that drives everything (Motorhead) check

Just saw a test screening of SHOOT EM UP tonight. This will be the next 300 – mark my words. No marketing, no expectations, mega hit.

hele tijd terug al een preproduction video van gezien maar het schijnt echt een toffe film te zijn!
