What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry  The film is so intent on cramming in incredible gunfights and creaky one-liners that it completely neglects the audience and decent humour. | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Jacques Liebenberg 'n Prettige aksie flief wat niks voorgee nie en die een skouspelagtige gevegstoneel na die ander opdis. | 15 |  |
| Cape Times Kevin Crust Bullet-riddled thriller delivers the goods. | 5 | |
| iAfrica.com Melanie Daly Suspend your disbelief and go along for the ride — just don't expect James Bond or Jason Bourne. They're only pussies with guns anyway. | 13 |  |
| Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 12 | |
| The Citizen Bruce Dennill This is one of those films that's so bad it's actually enjoyable. | 12 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge One cannot call this a good movie, but it seems to be part of a new style of action comedies. | 10 |  |
| 24.com Ivan Sadler Shoot 'Em Up is crazy, violent and hilarious, with cartoonish characters and a slick script. The action is non-stop without getting boring and the pace is hectic almost to the point of being exhausting. | 15 | |
| BBC Jamie Russell An outrageously shoddy, audaciously choreographed exploitation flick that loves the smell of gunpowder in the morning. | 10 | |
| Box Office Susan Green Bang! An instant cult hit, Shoot 'Em Up is a wildly energetic yarn calculated to score with juvenile fans of extreme but cool cinematic violence. | 10 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Shoot 'em Up, written and directed by the gung-ho Michael Davis, is the most audacious, implausible, cheerfully offensive, hyperactive action picture I've seen since, oh, Sin City, which in comparison was a chamber drama. | 18 | |
| eye Weekly Kieran Grant Shoot 'Em Up is unhinged, unsettling and unforgettable. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Shoot 'Em Up is one huge send-up of the action genre, and pretty much consists of shoot-outs and chases overtaking each other like waves rolling onto a beach, each more over-the-top than its predecessor. | 13 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers This wet dream for action junkies leaves out logic and motivation — you know, all the boring stuff. It’s eighty-two minutes of hardcore pow. | 15 | |
| ScreenItAll of it's incredibly violent, profane, and certainly not for any young eyes, but it's also quite a bit of giddy fun. | 12 | |
