Shootout during sex scene and shootout in freefall?

Yes.

Or tough guy and baby?

Not no. Did you see The Hire: Chosen?

Shootout during sex scene and shootout in freefall?

A shootout during a sex scene in freefall. That would be something.

I haven't seen The Hire: Chosen.

Should I netflix it?

What's Ra's Al Ghul's backstory from... well, any source other than the movie? I remember him vaguely from the cartoon (man I miss that show!), but I don't remember much other than he was Bruce's sensai or some such.

Ra's Al Ghul is the one man to ever figure out that Bruce Wayne was Batman. In fact, he introduced himself to the Batman by walking into the Batcave one night to talk to him.

He wants to take over the world to create a utopia, and doesn't care who he has to kill or what he has to destroy in the process, as long as it brings about his utopian vision with him in charge. He wants to save Humanity from itself, and doesn't mind breaking a few eggs to make his omelet.

He also is very long-lived, thanks to the Lazarus pit, a revitalizing bath of strange chemicals and who knows what else, which has a de-aging effect on him.

That's all comic-book canon.

No netflix -- they're all BMW ads here. I'd say half of them rock (Chosen, The Hostage, Ticker, Beat The Devil) but they're all worth the time to watch them, in the end, if you like Clive.

Coffee and toast:

he was Bruce's sensai or some such.

No, he was never Bruce's mentor (I don't think), but he was a very civilized villain, the type you could sit down and play an intriguing game of chess with. So there were always a large number of civilized conversations between he and Batman.

Defamer's take on that new Clive Owen movie:

Clive Owen is finalizing the details to star in Shoot-Em-Up for New Line, an “ultraviolent” flick with scenes that include “a shootout during a sex scene and another in the midst of a freefall.” We don’t want to fall prey to the hype machine, but this may turn out to be the greatest movie ever made.

Ra's Al Ghul

I would like the record to show that I dislike that apostrophe immensely. Unless his name really does mean "The Al Ghul belonging to Ra."

Or tough guy and baby?

I saw this movie. It starred Chow Yun-Fat and a lot of Hong Kong neon. Okay, the baby in question would have lost its hearing from all the gunfire going on right near its head, except that it was so obviously a salami wrapped up in baby blankets.

I would be happier with Clive if he would make more movies that don't sound like video games. Period clothing is not required, although a nice natty suit never did anybody wrong.

And it has possibly the most disturbing poster ever - [link]

That really doesn't do it justice. To see it in its maximum disturbance, you have to see it silk-screened on a T-shirt, like the one my friend wears every effin' week. The baby is just this pale blob amidst Chow Yun Fat, leather, and fire. Very odd.
