Shoot em up

The title says it all : its all abt guns, stunts and the bad guys falling. All that was required was a plot to kick off the action, and that begins right at the first frame. A group of gangsters try to murder a pregnant lady and in comes the hero. You will get the maximum possible stunts using a gun (and a carrot) from the hero. He delivers the baby from its mother amidst a gun fight and defeats numerous gun-slingers while running, jumping, driving, sky-diving, sliding, on bed with the lady-love, etc... He finally unravels the mystery about the baby-killers, and wraps them all up. There is a comic touch to the hero's character: he always uses a carrot : munches it, kills people with it, and finally when his fingers are damaged, uses the carrot to operate guns!!!

Most of the stunts are preposterous: either you are awed by them, or have a good laugh at them. Either way, the movie is a good entertainer.
