Action Movies - Or how to get yourself a Darwin Award

Shoot Em Up must have set a new record for Steel Babies who should have died in the first scene. I think Con Air set a record for having people who should be dead and possibly burned to cinders survive a plane crash without even getting a concussion. Perhaps that is the goal of every action movie?

Ps. My spell checker doesn't acknowledge the existence of the word "Movie"... I suppose they want me to say "Picture" or "Film", like any good Brit would. Ds.

Haha, I dunno about the goal of every action movie, but certainly of Shoot Em Up :P

I wish there was some way to see a "stats" page of reality. Like, how many people died because they think action movie-physics work in real life? And you could just page over to that column and see... yes, 16845 people. Probably not that many, no.

Shot Em Up deserves an award for being the purest essence of action movie ever. Even the baby is badass.

Action comedy without the stupid "family-comedy" part at its best.
It's a funny movie to watch =)
And the lead plays in Sin City!
