Gratuity

Entertaining parody of (or homage to) the hard-man action flick, characterized chiefly by gleefully ludicrous action and gleefully gratuitous nudity. Not only does the heroine get her kit off for a sex scene, it's literally combined with a gunfight: this is the stuff of fanboy dreams. Every third line is a quip and the actors -- notably Clive Owen as the carrot-eating hero Mr. Smith and Paul Giamatti as his trash-talking nemesis -- ham it up delightfully.

It's just a little too slow to work perfectly as mindless excitement, unfortunately, but still fun.
