Shoot 'Em Up (18)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Turbo-charged nonsense that does what it says in the title. Clive Owen plays the urban gunslinger, Paul Giamatti the implacable pursuer, Monica Bellucci the tart with a heart, all somehow involved in a preposterous plot about an orphaned baby and the American gun lobby.
Owen kills his first victim by skewering him with a carrot – a first, surely – but thereafter sticks to the more traditional method of blasting holes through them. Writer-director Michael Davis keeps up a Tarantinoid level of energy and irony, though the relentless violence, thrash-metal soundtrack and sardonic quips lower the spirits.
