Guns in "The Recruit"

[greyhound]

Now I know it may be old hat to complain about firearms in movies, but I saw a couple of real whoppers in this one.

First, Colin Farrell is in pistol training and puts 10 out 10 in the X ring. Looks at the lovely lass in the next lane, shrugs, and says "Nintendo".
Hey nimrod, did the "Nintendo gun" have any recoil? Well neither did the movie gun. Ridiculous.

Then, Al Pacino gives Farrell a Glock. No extra mags. Said Glock over the course of the movie proceeds to fire about 75 rounds. Nuff said, except I want one of the "magic Glocks" myself.

I think I OD'd on gun movies yesterday, since the GF is out of town. Saw "Open Range", then "The Recruit" and "Narc". Funny scene in "Narc" where a gangsta tries to smoke some dope out of a pistol-grip shotty (I'm not kidding) and forgets there's one in the chamber!

Can't speak for the rest.....But Open Range was Awesome!!

Robert Duvall at his best!! Costner wasn't bad either and Annette Benning?
Well let's just say, if she was my Doctor's assistant....I'd be sick a lot!!

Semper Fi, Sgt

other than making fun of the gun screwups, how did you stay awake during The Recruit?

No kidding. What I can't believe is that I bought it on DVD. I was at Wal-Mart, saw it on the shelf and wanted to see it but I didn't feel like making an extra trip to Blockbuster so I picked it up. Big mistake! I hated the movie and now I own it. The torture scene really pissed me off.
