You Shoot, I Shoot

YOU SHOOT, I SHOOT (2001) - Mar. 21, 2007
This film has taken what seems like a relatively foolproof premise (a hitman recruits a director when he is hired to kill someone and film the murder) and squandered it. The main problem here is how ridiculously broad everything is; subtle is not a word in this film's vocabulary. Everything, from the dialogue to the characters to the performances -- even the direction itself -- is way over-the-top. The film just tries way too hard to be funny, with every action being "comically" overblown, and every actor mugging furiously for the camera. The film is short, at least, and it's never completely boring, but it was just far too silly. **
