This is with Clive Owen. VERY well done action flick. The directors commentary chapter is very good as well. It doesn't take itself seriously and that is it's strength.

Man, I couldn't even finish that movie with Monica to ogle. So many people liked it, but to me it was horrible.

I heard from many folks this was damn near unwatchable.

Fatty is right, after the first few chuckles not even top notch T&A could save this.

Re: Shoot 'Em Up
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking it is like another universally loathed action film, "Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever". Based on all the critical reviews (uniformly despising the movie), I was prepared to see a crapfest, but it was fine if you were in the right frame of mind for it. Think of a Uwe Boll film, only by someone who knew what he was going for besides superficial pretty pictures. I am sure that "Shoot 'Em Up" will be similar. And it IS Clive Owens.
