Shoot 'Em Up is quite aware of what it is, and isn't trying to hide it, either. Just look at the title. This is an action film that features men shooting each other, as well as the other things that action films tend to have: a hot woman, a terrible villain, a sex scene, and a tough hero protecting the innocent while uncovering and destroying an evil conspiracy. The film was written and directed by Michael Davis, whose filmography up until this point is not particularly encouraging (he wrote Double Dragon, people). And indeed this film is so completely unbelievable, over-the-top, and ridiculous that it ultimately lost me. Of course, it's quite aware that it's completely unbelievable, over-the-top, and ridiculous. But that doesn't change the fact that it's completely unbelievable, over-the-top, and ridiculous.
