This isn't just a mindless gun flick with unrealistic action. If it was, it would be quite enjoyable. But once we learn WHY everyone is shooting and killing everyone ... well, then it becomes clear why the filmmakers made it so violent.

"Because your suppose to turn in you're guns after you watch this movie.

*beep* off. *beep* holes. From my cold dead hands. Come and get 'em."

But seriously folks, i do hate this movie for trying to be political. I don't need that *beep* mixed into my entertainment.

This movies sucks. Sorry, if it was just about some Senator that wanted to stay alive it would be good. But no ... they had to try and make a political statement. And that's why i think this movie sucks the BIG DONKEY BALLS.

And you can suck 'em too if you don't like how i feel.

I didn't get the senator's deal ... why go through the baby-making if he just wants to die?

[–] npanou 10 years ago

He doesn't want to die. When does he ever say he want's to die? He agreed to stop beign anti-gun if the gun lobbiests stopped killing off his babies and their precious bone marrow *beep* hilarious premise tbh). Owen murders him in an attempt to engrave his initial anti-gun message.

That's the whole joke. Every problem in this movie gets solved with guns, even the problem of not enough gun control.

If that's the joke , then Hot Fuzz http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425112/ delivered the superior punchline.

Too bad you don't know what you are talking about. Hot fuzz was a parody of classic buddy cop movies. Only the ending had a shoot out to play on the stereotypical gun fight and car chase in movies like bad boys and point blank.

As far as Shoot em up, the movie hardly tries to go "after your guns". If anything it was a playful satire on gun control, don't get your panties in a bunch you might hurt your pussy...You know what I hate a pussy with a gun. ?

Yes. Everybody getting ready to jump on their anti - this and anti - that soapbox, should remember that this is primarily a comedy. 🐭

Yet, you missed BarneyRubbleNLittleChina's incorrect use of "your" in the first part of that same sentence...
