Shoot 'Em Up Brings Down the House at Comic-Con
Here's another example where the trailer doesn't lie. We caught a late screening of Shoot 'Em Up last night, and it's everything the trailer suggests: a straight forward action with a weird setup (Clive Owen vows to save a baby from the bad guys despite having no connection with anybody involved) and even weirder characters.

Clive Owen, Babies in Action in "Shoot Em Up"
Just when you thought you'd seen every action sequence Hollywood could imagine, Michael Davis comes up with "Shoot 'Em Up."
