Shoot ‘Em Up

September 14th, 2007 by Jeff

We saw Shoot ‘Em Up tonight, it was pretty rad.  Totally hilarious, it’s like Looney Tunes meets Die Hard, complete with a carrot-munching Bugs Bunny-esque hero.  I think there was supposed to be some sort of anti-gun message in there, but it failed on a few levels.  First, it’s just philosophically wrong.  Second, it’s poorly delivered; almost childishly ham fisted, sort of like “Guns are bad, mmkay?”  And thirdly, the movie’s wall-to-wall action sequences make guns look freakin’ awesome.

But I gotta get back to work… Dead Lantern isn’t going to reprogram itself!
