The fail is strong in this movie...

[Alamo]

He's just scratching his forehead.

 

[PedalToTheFloor]

Looks like this movie is lacking a lot more than basic shooting skills.

Clint Eastwood? You mean the guy who shoots .44 mag one-handed, lol?

He's a badass!

 

[Expat]

Not everyone is professional enough to shoot a rifle like that.

 

[kawtech87]

That dude is totally not operator enough. No Oakley's, no morale patch baseball cap with quippy patch, no Mechanix wear gloves. I mean come on. The dude doesn't even have a beard. So Hollywood, they don't even know operator chic.

Actually, in one of the Dirty Harry movies, Harry explains that he reloads his own .44 Special ammo for less recoil. Back to the OP. I think this guy is just raising the gun up to his "third eye". This will attract the Hindu audience.

He says this:

I use a light special. With a gun this size and weight it has no more recoil than .38 out of a .357.

Lol. Gotta love the movies, and his Pinocchio barreled ".44".

No training required to be an assassin these days.

 

[walleyepw]

Hey, don't you guys know that he is using the new instinctive sighting technique. Come on get with the times.

How can you guys criticize a movie without seeing the trailer?

You can start with the bad guy on the beach.

 

[actaeon277]

The teacher becomes the bad guy?

 

[ChalupaCabras]

No cliche's at all.

 

[IndyTom]

The teacher becomes the bad guy?

The teacher's former student does.

 

[singlesix]

The teacher's former student does.

Wow, talk about an original plot twist.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

He doesn't even use a sling

 

[crispy]

The teacher's former student does.

So the teacher has to train a new protege to go take care of the old protege.

That is a plot device I have never seen before...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

He doesn't even use a sling

Doesn't need one. He just uses his eyebrow to steady the rifle.

This movie is based on books by the late author Vince Flynn. I've read most of his books, enjoyed them very much, and they are very technically accurate. Any gun-related inaccuracies or mishandling in the movie would likely have him spinning in his grave. I saw an interview with him once where he said "If I read a thriller book where the hero flips the safety off on his Glock, I immediately know the author didn't do any research."

I don't plan on seeing this or any other movies based on his books. My imagination is a much better director than anyone in Hollywood.

 

[cburnworth]

Yeah. considering they couldn't even follow the book, I doubt i will watch it. I have been looking forward to this movie since vince started talking about it.

[Trigger Time]

Ah I just saw fail Is strong. I thought it was another 1911 thread lol
