Shoot 'Em Up

I was, I admit, fairly excited about Shoot 'Em Up. I've just seen it. Consider me no longer excited. Consider me instead very, very disappointed. I was expecting something fun. With outrageous action. A homage to John Woo and Hard-Boiled. What I got was tired, risible and so lacking in actual invention — and I don't think death by carrot and a lactating hooker count — that I sat in the cinema slack-jawed and stupefied. What a bore. What a criminal waste of a talented cast. What lacklustre action sequences. And the UK trailer for Smokin’ Aces used Motorhead’s Aces of Spades to much better effect.

Wow, sounds disappointing. I wasn't overly excited for this flick but was hoping to be pleasantly surprised, given then great cast and all. But going by this and a few reviews I've read, it sounds like one to skip...

My advice would be to save your money and watch Hard-Boiled.

Shoot Em up is a good game to play online but Ping Pong 3D and if we talk about Shoot Em In then both games are learning games and free to play. cooler math is based on educationa and this link is also for gaming.
