Shoot the Hero

...of itself? Most people here seem to think so. And yes the movie tries very hard to be clever and sometimes (many times) it does not achieve anything quite as good as what its goal is. Trying to copy from the "best" (Tarantino and others, though the former does also like to "copy" as he says himself) is not a bad idea to start off. But when people start comparing you with those other guys you copy, you should be prepared to take a hit or two.

The movie takes quite a few hits here. But still managed to get people like Fred Williamson and Danny Trejo involved. The former was a producer as he said at a con and got Danny to be in the movie. Trying to give back as both said. Helping new filmmakers out. And if you ask Fred, than this movie, as any other movie he is involved, is at least great! Then again he might not have seen it himself, so who is he to judge?

Seriously though: If you can get over a few bumps throughout the whole thing and don't compare it too much to other movies ... you might enjoy it quite a bit. Which is a testament to the actors.

I watched this last night and i gotta say it is AWESOME! Mike Hatton is Freaking hysterical in this and i hope to see more from this actor in the future!

If you are looking for a funny movie to just kick back and laugh with this one is for you!

This is just the kind of off the wall humor that i enjoy!

This is one that i can watch over and over and never get sick of it!

Mike Hatton is a great up and coming actor who has a comedic presents like which i haven't seen in a long time.Major Studios need to look at giving this guy some big roles in some big budget movies!

Well, the movie had potential, I will give it that much.

However, and I put emphasis on however, the movie failed to deliver.

The nice part of the movie was that you saw different sides of the story as the came together, although a bit too far out there at times, but still it was what worked best for the movie.

Another nice thing about the movie was the music and score, very nice choice of music that went quite well with the movie.

As for the cast and their acting. Well don't expect award winning performances here, because you will be sorely disappointed. Now, some parts of the movie actually came off quite alright, but other parts were bordering on being annoying to watch or just downright irritating.

The storyline is fairly easy to follow, though it is suffering from some flaws and some parts that were just too hard to digest or fully believe in.

"Shoot the Hero" failed to captivate me, and I was left bored about three-quarters into the movie. I almost gave up on it, but stuck through with it, just for the sake of finishing it. This is not the type of movie that I will be returning to again for a second time. Once was more than enough.

In overall, the movie was well-intended but it failed to shine and failed to come through in a plausible manner. There are far better and far more interesting movies on the market, play it safe and put your money on something else.

A 30-something couple (Jason Mewes and Samantha Lockwood) unintentionally become involved in a botched jewel heist while shopping for wedding rings...

I do not want to spend too much time trying to critique this movie. Despite having some decent actors in here and a somewhat interesting, somewhat humorous, story... all I can say is, what the heck? This was sort of like a hot mess. Your best characters are the Smith Brothers, whereas your worst character is Nate (Mewes). And, of course, they make Nate the main character.

I love Jason Mewes, and I love to see him in a role outside of the stoner sidekick box. But something was wrong here. Either he cannot act (possible, but not necessarily true) or nobody gave a hoot while making this film and did not even try for passing-grade performances (more likely true). Not fun, not good.

This is possibly one of the worst movies ever made. This movie is so bad both the director and the screenwriter should consider hanging themselves. I have no idea how anything that reaches the masses could be so utterly disappointing and uninteresting. This movie lacked both an adventurous plot as well as a humorous tone. It is unconceivable to think that a major production team could have patched this movie up as it lacked practically every aspect of a semi-decent movie.

This movie was so bad that I deliberately turned on my laptop, registered here on IMDb, and posted this comment.

Unbelievable that people got paid in the production of this movie.

Watching this movie made me appreciate all of the movies that I have ever taken for granted.
