Synopsis:
Smith (Clive Owen) is a slick shooter who saves a pregnant lady from gangsters. She dies after the delivery. And now the gangsters led by Hertz (Paul Giamatti) are after him. Smith takes the help of a lactating prostitute to feed the baby. The rest of the story is all about finding the gangsters' motive for killing the baby and eliminating them.

What I liked in the film?
We have seen many action films in the past. But we have not seen action comedies like this. The carrot munching Clive Owen would be performing the ballet of bullets. And you had never seen the sweet and timid guy like Paul Giamatti doing such a nasty villain role. You can thoroughly enjoy the film if you don't mind violence and a little bit of sex.

What I did not like in the film?
The baby is handled with utmost carelessness in the stunt sequences of the film.

The scenes I liked

1. Delivering the baby as hero shooting people up with empty shells falling on the stomach of the pregnant lady. Then he separates baby from the mother using a bullet.

2. Giamatti shooting the glow sign of FAULK TRUCK & TOOL in order to make it read f**k u too.

3. Paul Giamatti asking his assistants why gun is better than a wife and then giving an answer that you can put silencer in a gun.

4. Smacking the carrot into the faces of people to kill them. Using carrot to pull the trigger.

5. Hero shooting people up while having sex with the lady and at the end of it saying 'talk about the shooting the load'.

Tailpiece:
'Shoot 'Em Up is' is like reading an adult comic book with ruthless violence and a little bit of sex. It is like injecting the charm of a James Bond into the characters we see in Pulp Fiction film. This film is all about guns and carrots.
