You’ll like the action movie Shoot ’em Up, now available on DVD and pay per view, if and only if you like movies that have all of the following:

• ludicrously implausible, in fact frankly impossible, action scenes that make no attempt whatever at connecting with reality and make James Bond movies look like cinema verite;
• a protagonist and female lead with no personality whatsoever;
• dozens and dozens of killings and maimings;
• a plot composed almost entirely of ideas recycled and bastardized from Hong Kong-period John Woo movies;
• talented character actor Paul Giamatti, as the main villain, desperately trying to inject some personality into a cinematic disaster;
• a gunfight between numerous government agents and a man having stand-up sexual intercourse with his prostitute girlfriend;
• smug left-wing politics and the claim that all business people are evil (yes, it really makes that assertion); and
• an explicit, intrusive agenda advocating gun control, delivered by a protagonist who shoots more people in a day than most armies shoot in a year.

All of which means you’ll like Shoot ’em Up if you like cheap irony and cheaper left-wing politics.
