First Thoughts: Hadn’t heard or seen anything about this film until today when looking up what films are coming out. So, watched the trailer and it looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch that goes on way to long, or that could just be because half of the main cast are SNLers.
Movie: Shoot’em Up (R)
Starring: Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti & Monica Bellucci
Genre: Action
Synopsis: Well, the title just about says it all. A mysterious guy takes it upon himself with a little help to protect a baby from a bad guy that is hunting them down.
First Thoughts: This has a really solid cast, but only an 80-minute runtime. It looks like it could be fun, or at least better than War from a couple of weeks ago.
