Action fans rejoice. YAAAAY.
I enjoyed it my second viewing just as much as the first.

You'll definitely either hate it or love it.
It depends on whether or not you consider Clive Owen sliding around and shooting everything a good thing or not.
I do. So I love it.
I think what really got me about the whole thing is that it's just a cheesy action movie that knows it's a cheesy action movie and so everything has a certain sense of humor about it. And the stunt sequences are really really clever. It was also one of the few movies over the years that I've actually seen get a standing ovation at the end by the patrons in the theater.

I'm waiting until next Tuesday to pick it up along with 3:10 and Zodiac.
Missed it in theaters, but still making the purchase.

I have no idea how the makers of this movie knew of my secret desire for carrot-violence.

Great movie. It really captures what debates over a hot-button social issue (in this case, gun control) should be: two angry people yelling loudly over hard rock music while firing weapons wildly in the air. Want to spice up the upcoming presidential debates? Blast some Motorhead and give Clinton and Huckabee a semiautomatic with an unlimited supply of rounds. I don't know about all of you, but I would be paying attention.

I'm halfway though this movie and I love it. It has so much senseless violence and is as cheesy as you can get. But it's great stuff if you take it for what it's for.

Okay, I finished this movie now and it was great! I'm probably going to watch it again tonight after Live Free or Die Hard.

I loved Christian's 1/2 a second cameo I ordered this off amazon. I saw it in theaters but I never saw Christian. Could you point it out to me where it is? I actually saw it in theaters because Christian was in it and I was with my ex-gf and we wanted to see a movie. Nothing else good was out. Ah yes this was an awesome movie. Glad I saw it. |

Doom really is a tyrant, isn't he? 3:10 TO YUMA is really good, a great "popcorn drama," to put it another way. If you love westerns, it'll be a pleasing blowjob. As for SHOOT' EM UP.......well, I put it on my Top 10 for 2007, and I really tried to pimp this movie hard while it had its (brief) theatrical run. It's like the American STORY OF RICKY, its so awesomely stupid. |

You gotta pay close attention as it is brief and the camera is moving all over the place when it happens. The scene is when "Smith" is on the plane and takes dude hostage. He is one of the guards in a suit that responds right away. Also, in the credits he is listed as Jay Reso (Christians real name) |
