"Shoot 'em Up": two thumbs down, one finger up.

I was looking for a way to divert my thoughts from our impending political doom, so I decided to check out a movie I had Tivoed a while back.  For those of you looking for a good action movie, look elsewhere.  Aside from the usual impossible scenarios and sequences we have learned to ignore in movies, "Shoot 'em Up" is sickeningly anti - 2A.  I couldn't even enjoy the gun porn due to the fact that I was too busy rolling my eyes, shouting at the screen, and fighting off waves of nausea.  Thank you Hollyweird for finding a way to ruin, what was the bastion of gun lovers, the action movie.

It sounded like a crappy movie when I read the plot summary. But they have a long history of making ant-gun action movies in The Socialist State of Kalifornia. I believe Lethal Weapon 3 had pistols shooting through the blade of a bulldozer with "cop killer" bullets. They had a gun control poster hanging on the wall too but I can't remember what it was.

The last Die Hard movie has enough action for 2 movies. I lkied that even though it has the typical impossible stuff happening all the time. I give it a thumb up.
