A.K.A Guns: The MovieEighty-six minutes of Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti shooting at each other over a baby.Oh, you want a bit more than that? All right, we'll give it a shot...Mr. Smith (Owen) is waiting for a bus, when he decides to follow a gunman, who is following a pregnant woman with murderous intent. He kills the gunman and his fellow Mooks, saving the newborn, but not the mother. The Mooks' boss, Mr. Hertz (Giamatti) continues the attempted infanticide at every stop. Smith enlists a lactating hooker (Monica Bellucci) to take care of the baby, who Mr. Smith names Oliver, while Smith fights Hertz and tries to find out who wants the baby dead and why.No, really.The film exists to show gunfights in every conceivable situation, from high-speed chases to mid-sex to mid-skydiving. The plot is secondary to meta-humor and really over-the-top action sequences. No, we mean really over-the-top. Roger Ebert commented: "I may disapprove of a movie for going too far, and yet have a sneaky regard for a movie that goes much, much farther than merely too far." By one count, Smith kills over one hundred and twenty people over the course of the film.Fun fact: According to Word of God, the very premise of the movie is inspired by the climax of Hard Boiled, where Chow Yun-fat guns down hordes and hordes of mooks while holding a baby. The filmakers took this concept and expanded it to 86 awesome minutes, which became the movie Shoot'em up.It can also be described more-or-less accurately as an R-rated live-action Bugs Bunny cartoon. No, seriously: Smith and Hertz's feud in the film is explicitly likened to Bugs' iconic feud with Elmer Fudd, with Smith even spending much of the movie munching on carrots—which the filmmakers confirmed as a deliberate Looney Tunes reference.Yeah... It's that kind of movie.

Non-Residential Residence: Smith lives in an abandoned tenement, which naturally becomes the scene of one of the movie's many gunfights. Later, he stashes DQ and Oliver inside a tank in a war museum, to make absolutely sure they'll be safe from the army of thugs coming after them.

"It" Is Dehumanizing: Smith addresses the baby he is protecting as "It". DQ tells him not to call the baby an "It". Smith says that the baby is simply an "It" to him as a means to avoid emotional attachment.

Heroes Love Dogs: One of the few things Smith does like. The Big Bad has a dog he's openly fond of too. This turns out to be a Chekhov's Gun — Smith realises the senator has changed sides when he sees dog hair on his trousers, and realises he's met with the villain. Subverted when Hammerson is shown stuffing his dog's predecessor.

The Stoic: Smith, usually. Even when ranting about stuff that pisses him off. The Lone Man, as well, even as his men drop like flies and he flings himself out of a plane to attempt to kill Smith. Hertz spends a fair chunk of the movie as one, too, lampshading it with the explanation that getting mad causes a reduction in IQ, something he can't afford. All this, of course, just makes his eventual blow-up in the warehouse all the more hilarious:

Character Tic: As explained in the commentary, every character in the movie has at least one small quirk that sets them apart from the other characters, from Smith's carrots, to the Lone Man's constant gun-polishing. Hell, even the little old lady who runs the pawn shop, from whom Smith and DQ buy bullets and a bullet-proof vest respectively, has a thing for watches.

Bulletproof Vest: If Smith bothered throwing in a headshot or two for good measure, it would have been Bye Bye Hertz at the whorehouse (although Hertz was still knocked out cold and did not recover until the heroes got some head start out of there). Also DQ believes a bullet proof vest to be a better investment than a crib for the baby in light of their recent predicament. And if Hertz had kept his vest on, he would have won his final shootout with Smith.

Use Your Head: Hertz is about to poke out Smith's eye with a scalpel — Smith headbutts him in the face, getting the scalpel through his forehead but missing his eye. He then yanks out the scalpel and impales Hertz's mooks.

Coitus Uninterruptus: Smith guns down a few mooks in the process of having sex with Donna. "Talk about shooting your load." And really, we need to make this clear: Smith is having sex with Donna. They are attacked by mooks with guns. Smith engages in a firefight and doesn't stop having sex with Donna. She stays wrapped around his waist the entire time as he bounces around the room, killing bad guys.

Platonic Prostitution: Smith hires Donna, a lactating prostitute, to take care of a newborn baby. The "platonic" part disappears after they have sex (without him paying her) and even before that it's clear they have a mutual attraction.

Signs of Disrepair: Smith shoots out a "Faulk Truck & Tool" sign in the opening gunfight to read, "FUK U," while saying, "Fuck you, you fucking fuckers!" The camera pans to show the word "TOOL" next to it, and Hertz shoots out the L to have it read, "FUK U TOO", responding with, "Tit for tat." A later scene halfway through the film has a thrown gun shoot off most of the numbers on an "X Days Since" sign at a gun factory, leaving only 0 out of over 1,000 days.

Rube Goldberg Device: In order to get into the Abandoned Warehouse he's using as a home, Smith takes a rat out of a cage, removes a brick from the wall and pushes the rat inside. The rat runs down a tunnel into a wire basket on a pulley which drops from the weight, pushing down a latch to open the door. Seems odd on its own, but it fits with Smith's "Bugs Bunny" allusion, detailed below.

Have You Told Anyone Else?: Discussed and subverted. Smith calls NBC, ABC, CBS, The Post, The Times, and the FBI to come check out an illicit baby bone marrow harvesting laboratory, because he hates it when a hero calls only one person and ends up betrayed by that one person. Unfortunately, the Lone Man uses his connections to make sure it stays out of the press.

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: "What were you doing in there?" "Cleaning my gun." "...Oh, really?" Smith sees the senator's go-to guy coming out of a bathroom stall wiping his gun clean with a hand towel and sarcastically accuses him of doing this since he took so long doing so in the bathroom stall. The senator's go-to guy insists that he is actually cleaning his automatic weapon. Though it's heavily implied that the reason he's always cleaning his gun is because he uses it for...non-gun-related activities.

Naughty Nuns: A prostitute that tries to stop Smith from intruding the brothel to look for DQ is roleplaying as a nun and she wears a revealing outfit that has her backside exposed to the audience.

Asshole Victim: Of a sort. When Smith and DQ need a car, Smith isn't particularly concerned that he has to steal a car, nor which car he picks. Then he sees an expensive one illegally parked in a handicap zone and immediately picks that one.

Guns Do Not Work That Way: Apart from the obvious Rule of Cool examples, the Counting Bullets scene doesn't match the actual guns being used by either Hertz or Smith. Even the bullet count of Smith's broken hand is missed by 100%. He shoots eight times with four cartridges.

The Big Bad has a dog he's openly fond of too. This turns out to be a Chekhov's Gun — Smith realises the senator has changed sides when he sees dog hair on his trousers, and realises he's met with the villain. Subverted when Hammerson is shown stuffing his dog's predecessor.

Hand Cannon: The Lone Man wields a Smith & Wesson 629 cal. .44 Magnum, and Hertz has a Desert Eagle .50 AE which Smith tries to shoot one-handed (just to discover the fingerprint scanner) — and Hertz himself does shoot one-handed. Played literally by Smith when he uses his hand as a gun by holding cartridges between his fingers and firing them by heating them up against a fireplace.

Counting Bullets: When Hertz is torturing Donna, he shoots to heat up the barrel of his gun. When Smith comes in to save her Hertz points his gun at him, and Smith notes that he hasn't got anything left. Hertz however has been counting the rounds Smith has fired up to now, so he knows Smith is out too. The scene is hampered by the fact that Hersh has a Desert Eagle, which has more than six rounds. This was a carry-over from an earlier version of the script, where Hersh was supposed to have a .44 Magnum revolver in homage to Dirty Harry.

Bottomless Magazines: Frequently hilariously averted. Inverted that Hertz's gun has six shots when the magazine of a real Desert Eagle .50 AE can hold seven, plus one in the chamber. Played straight by the first fully-automatic firearm in Smith's hand, a belt-fed, water-cooled Vickers .308 machine gun disguised as a MP5K. Smith's broken hand borders on a bottomless magazine. He holds four cartridges between his fingers and shoots eight times. Played straight in the opening when Smith somehow manages to shoot 20 rounds out of a Walther PPK.

Berserk Button: A number of things can trigger this response in Mr. Smith. For example, when he steals a car for parking in the handicapped zone, or runs another car off the road for repeatedly changing lanes without a signal, as well as littering. Basically everyday annoyances that usually only merit a gripe or two from normal people trigger sociopathic rage in Mr. Smith. And we love him for it.

comment
Shout-Out: The whole film is a series of hyper-violent yet comedic encounters between a protagonist who constantly eats carrots, and his hunter, a balding antagonist whose ringtone is "The Ride of the Valkyries". Made explicit in one scene: The whole film was (admitted by the director) based on the scene from the end of Hard Boiled where Tequila runs around the hospital with a baby, shooting a unending stream of mooks. Smith decides to name the baby Oliver after Oliver Twist. Not just because he is an orphan but because Smith likes the book.

Strawman Political: The liberal politician thinks he's destined for the White House, will do anything to get there (including inflicting horrible pain on babies), and sells out his beliefs to save his own life. To be slightly fair, the Conservative strawman is going to kill him painfully if he doesn't loosen up his gun laws. The conservative strawman does bad things with great relish, and monologues about how guns are great because they let cowards feel powerful. So one strawman's a little more overstuffed than the other.

Unconventional Food Usage: The film starts with a shot of Mr. Smith eating carrots, establishing his preference of the vegetable. A minute later, Smith uses another carrot to kill a mobster by jamming the carrot into his victim's throat, and somewhere in the second act of the film Smith killed yet another mook with a carrot... via Eye Scream. Then he finishes the film by using a carrot in place of his broken trigger finger.

Can't Stop The Signal: Discussed, attempted, and averted: Smith hates that in movies the good guys rarely do this and thus he contacts every major news service in the country to try to release the complot's existence. The aversion comes the scene right after Smith explains this, in which the Lone Man casually mentions to Hertz that he used his connections to strong-arm everybody into keeping quiet.

Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics
 Shoot 'Em Up / int_fda1a026
comment
Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: The ending takes this to a new level — a robber hides behind cover, so Smith shoots the robber's partner several times — first in the leg (causing him to fall down), then in the arm (causing his gun to point at the hiding robber), then in the wrist (causing him to fire). Keep in mind that Smith's fingers are broken at the time, so he pulls the trigger by putting a carrot in the trigger guard and slapping the back of the gun with his other hand. Actually, Truth in Television, there is a nerve in the arm and wrist makes it twitch in the general direction done in the movie. But the chance of hitting it on purpose is next to nil... unless you're Smith.

Evil Is Hammy: Paul Giamatti as Hertz has clearly abandoned any notion of restraint and it is a glorious sight to behold.

Dark and Troubled Past: Smith — there's a few hints dropped, and Hertz believes he knows what it is, but Smith never confirms it. DQ explains hers as she's indulging in a bit of What the Hell, Hero?:

Pet the Dog
 Shoot 'Em Up / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Pet the Dog: Done straight up with Hammerson, who's openly fond of his Alsatian, and subverted with Smith — who'll shoot a man because he has a ponytail, but refuses to shoot a tracker dog because he likes dogs. He even adopts the aforementioned Alsatian after killing Hammerson. But Smith's best Pet the Dog moment is when he starts showing affection for the baby (which he previously referred to as 'it') by teaching him the proper way to handle a firearm safely. Awww... This, of course, triggers Donna's he'd-make-a-good-father-so-now-I-want-to-have-sex-with-him hormones. Hertz's affection for his off-screen son and wife.
