Shoot 'Em Up




Plot :
The film follows Smith (Clive Owen), a drifter with an extensive military background and a fondness for carrots who wants nothing more than to be left alone. Smith finds himself embroiled in a complex political conspiracy once he aids a pregnant woman who is being chased by a hitman. He takes the baby and goes on the run with a lactating prostitute (Monica Bellucci). The unlikely family is trailed by the intelligent and ruthless Hertz (Paul Giamatti) and his army of thugs. A myriad of elaborate gunfights ensue, between which Smith pieces together the story. A United States Senator who strongly supports gun control had been breeding babies for their bone marrow to treat his cancer; a prominent gun manufacturer has contracted Hertz to kill the babies.
