In the middle of the night, while waiting for a bus in a bus station, a lonely stranger called Mr. Smith (Cliven Owen) sees a pregnant woman being chased by a man with a gun. He follows the couple, kills the man and helps the delivery of the baby in the middle of a shootout while a gang of hit-man tries to shoot them up. The woman is killed but Smith saves the baby, escaping from Hertz (Paul Giamatti), the leader of the killers. Then he meets the prostitute Donna Quintano (Monica Bellucci), who has just lost her baby, and asks her to breastfeed the newborn. They are chased by Hertz and Smith discovers the reason why the mean man wants to kill the baby.
"Shoot' Em Up" is an enjoyable and extremely funny action movie, with the gorgeous Monica Bellucci, the tough Clive Owen and he versatile Paul Giamatti playing cartoonist characters. This pleasant film was a great surprise and the DVD has been an excellent entertainment for this Saturday night. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Mandando Bala" ("Shooting Bullet")
