If this thing takes off, I’ve written another wild, crazy action piece. It’s actually wilder than Shoot ’Em Up. And if the public embraces this sort of style from me, I would love to continue on to be like a writer/director of these action movies.

That’s one of the things writer/director Michael Davis told me when I interviewed him about Shoot ‘Em Up. Man, I’m hoping he gets his wish.

I just looked up how Shoot ‘Em Up’s doing, though, and it’s not doing so hot. Which blows: Not only was Shoot ‘Em Up a whole lot of fun, but I got the sense that Davis was genuinely passionate about it, and really enthused about the idea of doing some more action flicks. So if you’re at all partial to crazy, funny, balls-out action (who isn’t?!), go see Shoot ‘Em Up. Not enough people are going, and the action genre will be better—in the near future, and overall—if Davis can keep making the sort of action flick he made with Shoot ‘Em Up. Here’s a quick clip, just to give you a taste.

There’s also this. (Skip past the lame PR stuff [the first minute and 15 seconds] to the actual gunfight.)
