Do you think Brian got a little stupid in the climatic showdown?


SPOILER

Basically in the movie, after Brian comes to rescue Carrie, he hits Early on in the head with a shovel, and then takes Early's gun. He then turns his back on Early, and goes to to the bedroom to free Carrie.

But he doesn't even shoot Early in the leg or anything, and let's him unwatched, thereby allowing Early to get the upperhand.

Then after the fight, after shooting Early, he then decides to go close to him and risk his life to get the handcuff key off of Early's necklace. He risks his life even more. But Brian can hear police sirens, so he knows that the cops will have handcuff keys with them.

So why bother risking your life more by trying to get Early's necklace off and getting close to him?

It just seems to me that they forced Brian to become dumb in order to have more of a suspense and action filled climax, and more of a fight with Early. What do you think?

In real life, he probably would have killed him with the shovel
