After saving a new๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง infant from assassins, carrot-crunching gunman Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) teams up with a prostitute named DQ (Monica Bellucci) to protect the ๐๐๐๐ฆ from further attacks.
With hit man Hertz (Paul Giamatti) hot on their trail, Smith and DQ uncover a dying senatorโs plot to harvest bone marrow from babies just like the one in their arms.
Monica Bellucci dubbed her own voice for the movieโs Italian and French versions.
Question: What was the most appealing part of the film that made you want to take on this character?
Monica:ย Oh, everything. When I read the script I was in Europe and I said when I read the script it was crazy and how he is going to make this movie so I went to Los Angeles and met Michael Davis and then he told me about everything about he wanted to do and I said yes I want to do it.I had so much fun playing DQ because sheโs totally free. She does dangerous, dark, dirty things but in a playful way. Itโs like the movie, the movie is a comedy, itโs over the top, itโs like video games in some way. Of course, itโs violent but itโs also rock and roll, ๐โฏ๐y, dark, scary, with a lot of humor in it.
Shoot โEm Upย is an over the top, wildly fun film about โA carrot-eating, lone wolf kind of guy named Smith (Clive Owen) [who] steps in to protect a pregnant woman from a gunmanโand finds himself, with the aid of a lactating prostitute (Monica Bellucci), defending the new๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ from a sleazy contract ๐๐พ๐๐er Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti) and his army of thugs.
Although the acting was nothing to cheer for when it came to the smoking hot Italian hooker that is Monica Bellucci, Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti were both likable, nailing their parts on the head.
Plus, if you like either of those actors itโs hard to turn this film down because they release any tension that you might have on the screen for you, that way you donโt even have to break a sweat.ย If you ever wanted to escape from a realistic action movie to just utter craziness thanย Shoot โEm Upย is your perfect option. The best part is you can sit back, relax and not have to think about anything-just let your brain rest for this 85 min. bullet fest.
