Highly entertaining and fun to watch. It is such a fast paced movie it is no wonder it is only 86 minutes long, and it feels even shorter. Most of the movie was so unbelievable that there were several times where I was in utter disbelief because none of the stunts could ever happen. But this didn't really detract from me enjoying the film, it just made it feel more like the old Action films where the bad guys had terrible aim and the heroes never have to reload.
There really isn't much substance to the film, but it is called "Shoot 'Em Up" so if you are going to watch it for a great plot you want to have your self checked out anyhow. Clive Owen gives Jason Statham (Transporter) a good run for his money as a crazy action star.
