So what, did Rambo get lost in Vietnam and forget the war's over in this one?
He has gone to Myanmar/Burma now.

He didn't even mean to kill him. The douchebag was hanging out of a helicopter and fell out. You could arguably say he didn't kill anyone in the movie.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Roger Ebert can eat my shit. God bless this movie.
Roger Ebert hasn't even reviewed Rambo yet and he liked Shoot Em Up so what are you talking about here
He liked Shoot Em Up?
That's pretty cool
"Shoot 'em Up," written and directed by the gung-ho Michael Davis, is the most audacious, implausible, cheerfully offensive, hyperactive action picture I've seen since, oh, "Sin City," which in comparison was a chamber drama. That I liked "Shoot 'em Up" is a consequence of a critical quirk I sometimes notice: 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. This one goes so far, if you even want to get that far, you have to start half-way there, which means you have to be a connoisseur of the hard-boiled action genre and its serio-comic subdivision (or sub-basement).
Man, am I gonna get mail from people who hate this picture. I'll fall back on my stock defense: Did I, or did I not, accurately describe the film? You have been informed. Now eat your carrots.

Damn, what a beat down of a movie. It was good, don't get me wrong but I can't say I enjoyed it... like the D-Day scene of Saving Private Ryan stretched out for a lean 90 minutes.
(VERY FIRST SCENE) SPOILERS:
So the movie starts, pretty packed house, lots of dudes who all seem pretty pumped for a sweet Rambo movie... and bam! Stallone sucker punches the whole audience with some really tragically uncomfortable shit as Burmese soldiers force peasants to run through a rice-paddy strewn with mines, then shoot the survivors on the other side. Then 'Rambo" comes up, red stencil on black, and one dude behind me like, starts to clap but then kind of thinks better of it and everyone gets real depressed real quick.

The attack on the village was fuckawful . But then Rambo started killing things and I was happy again.

he killed the shit out of those attack dogs though. and totally splinted his own busted arm with a boot lace

Best move ever.
USA.
do cobras even have pearls
i am confused as fuck
maybe a cobra ate a pearl
or something
or stole it
yeah but
it's like
pearl of the cobra
rather than the cobra's pearl
it implies the cobra produced it, rather than simply acquired it
i just
i just don't know anymore

i just got a thing for a movie that don't bullshit about what it is
300 and Shoot Em Up had this charm for me
this movie looks the same
"listen rambo ruins asses. that's the movie you are seeing today. comfortable? good. now watch a man dissolve under automatic gunfire"
With Shoot Em Up you had the novelty of carrots and baby bone marrow factories.
With rambo; you get, "Man I wish Dolph Lundgren were here..."
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
here's hoping this makes for a fantastic mythbusters episode
"will a body really totally rip apart like that under close range fire from a 50 cal machinegun? let's test a pig's carcass..."
It's like you can read my mind

if you love to watch violence see this
Then it's a rental
What if, in addition to the above, I also hate the residents of South Asia?
Join the armed services.

I can think of something more ridiculous.
I win something, right?
