Another Shoot Em Up Review!
AICN has another Shoot Em Up review and this time from Moriarty:

I have a feeling a fair percentage of action fans are going to have preposterous fun with SHOOT ‘EM UP even if they don’t have a big Alamo Drafthouse-style event afterwards. I think people who get the movie and get into the vibe of the movie are going to have a huge amount of fun. Davis sets the tone for the film quickly and expertly, and by the time the title splashes across the screen, you’ll know if you’re onboard or not. You’ll know if this is a film you’re going to hang with for ninety minutes. It goes by lightning fast, too, but if you’re turned off by that quick burst of activity and violence at the beginning, you’re not going to hang with the rest of the film at all. It just gets crazier from there. This is a pure action film, where each moment is either getting the characters to an action scene or an action scene, and where each action scene is built to be a little different, a new riff on what’s come before, constantly upping its own sense of the outrageous.
