 Ridiculous Fun. Ridiculous Political Commentary. December 25, 2008

This movie was as absurd as I expected it to be. I knew the plot would be silly, and that the action would be implausible. All of this was OK by me, and for the most part this film delivered. I liked it.
Strangely, the film-makers opted to make a stand on the issue of GUN CONTROL. They like gun control...A LOT. Even though the hero mows down legions of baddies with his trusty pistols (and vegetables), he too is staunchly pro-GUN CONTROL. I won't give the story away, but he performs an act in the film with the express purpose of ensuring that strong gun control measures will be enacted.
Film-makers: Just make the silly movie. No need to preach to your audience. Subtracted one star for the political content.

Unfortunately Amazon is saying this is in stock (as with many other products on the website) -- yet days later you receive a later apologizing for the delay. Be aware of this if you are buying for Xmas

I love this mindless actioner.
High octane action, clever character writing and an attractive cast keeps you mind off of how little a plot there is but...with this one...it doesn't matter

This was a seriously stupid movie and yes, I loved it. It's a total guy flick. The actors Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci, Stephen McHattie, and Greg Bryk are fantastic. The story is where it all falls apart.
Smith, played by Clive Owen, steps in to protect a pregnant woman from a gunman. The woman gets in the cross fire and Smith is left with a baby. For some reason, there isn't access to bottles or formula and he must find a wet nurse. No, the setting wasn't in the horse and buggy era.
He finds a lactating prostitute, played by Monica Belluci, and both are now the target of some psycho hitman. In order to stop being hunted, he must find out why.
