Concerning realistic shooting sequences in a movie.  The scene where Vincent gets his "kit" back from the longhair and the skinhead in the alley...is the most realistic I’ve seen as of late.

Basically a textbook multi target engagement from concealment at arms length:

1.  Ascertain the threat and become proactive.
2.  Turn gun side away from threat.
3.  Sweep concealment garment
4.  Draw and engage closest threat with two shots from "retention" to prevent a weapons grab.
5.  Lock out to a freestyle position and engage threat two with failure drill.
6.  Re-engage threat one again.

Very nicely done...I wonder if Tommy boy is doing his own shooting (or does he have a stand in?)...that was pretty fast.  But in real life the threats would have most likely retreated after being shot...instead true to Hollywood...they just fell down.

Movie is worth seeing.

One of the armorer's was a guy named Gibson...maybe he's also the shooting stunts coordinator?

I didn't hear any "ooooohing and ahhhhing", but right when that second guy hit the ground I said in a normal tone "Fucking awesome" and a couple of strangers turned around and looked at me with a smile on their face and nodding their head.

I think that scene gave me wood!

I also liked the sound quality on the shooting, it was loud and deafening like a real one would be, not some cheezy dubbed pistol pop from a 1970's movie.

I loved the movie but for the ending. To me if your jod contains pistol play wouldn't you be wearing protection?
