Something that bugs me about the film...


Okay. So at the end of the film, Jonathan grabs the tranq gun from the lecture hall to down the Russians.

Now, that tranq gun was loaded for large animals, like tigers. Hit a human with that dose, and you're likely to kill them, or at the least put them in the hospital--which is confirmed later, when we see the antagonist being hauled off in an ambulance.

Okay, no biggie. It was life or death. We get it.

But then...at the end of the film...he's still carrying around the tranq gun--and he shoots the snotty coed with it for blowing him off?

Gah. Psychotic much, there, Jon?

I think it's just a little cinematic levity. You know, a joke.

Just a little Hollywood logic

Maybe he had different levels of Tranq darts.

But I could see him getting nailed for assault for hitting the other student.

Especially nowadays; he might actually get in serious legal trouble, especially if a sexual element is considered by the courts.
