this is a pretty good film but one scene is ridiculous


I'm referring to the one where Dante kills the blond-haired drug dealer who murdered his friend. Set aside the unlikelihood that Dante would allow the guy to get a pistol from his friend before they have an old West style gunfight, the idea that the dudes who had just witnessed this would shrug and get back to playing pool with the corpse of the druggie bleeding on the floor was laughable. Gunfire attracts police. Bad guys don't like police. Bad guys would flee in real life.

I understand how one can view this, but I believe the apathetic effect was a result of Dante being a drug lord.... so it'd be like if Tony Soprano or Montana walked into the pool hall and shot someone up... people want to stick to their own business in situations like that.
