“Of course Tom Cruise was a fantastic shot in the movie.”

Really? Such a ‘fantastic shot’ that instead of dropping the 2 perps when they are further out, he takes the unbelievable risk of allowing his would-be murderers to get within arms reach. And then, at the end of the movie, the ‘fantastic shot’ is gunned down by a nobody.

Learn nothing from Collateral except how not to defend yourself.

See Indiana Jones vs the swordsman, better tactics.
