Preview : Shoot Em Up

Watched the preview on Astro Behind the scenes and thought it's worth mentioning and worth waiting for. What caught my eye was the abundance of action and gun shots and also the love story in the background.... kinda make it a movie for the boys (who goes for the action) and girls (love story maniacs, obviously) and family (baby and all)..... Also boasts some high class casts which the director and writer Michael Davis handpicked namely, Clive Owen (of Derailed, Pink Panther, Sin City and King Arthur fame), Paul Giamatti (2005 Oscar winner for best supporting actor in Cinderella Man) and Monica Bellucci (Oscar nominated for Matrix Reloaded, and The Passion Of the Christ) .

Will be waiting eagerly for its release in Malaysia... meanwhile, here's the plot sypnosis (source: imdb.com):


Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is waiting for a bus when a pregnant woman runs by, chased by a group of thugs. Smith kills them and delivers the baby, but the mother is killed. Chased by the evil Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti) and an army of goons, Smith enlists DQ (Monica Bellucci), a lactating prostitute, to help him care for the baby.After a series of gun fights, Smith discovers the truth. A Democratic presidential candidate and supporter of draconian gun control measures is dying, but had several supporters impregnanted from his sperm so he could harvest the children. The women were killed by Mr. Hertz who was working for a wealthy firearms executive. However, Mr. Hertz and the Democratic politican cut a deal to work together. Smith kills every one of them personally, and in the end he reunites with DQ and the baby to start a new family.
