Jumps from a 6 story building?


Gimme a fkn break. Landing on someone does not break your fall that much. And I am pretty sure a toilet landing from that high up would have splatted his head like a grapefruit. But we can let that one slide. But the jump? Come on guys, what are we in friggin elementary school to buy that? Sheesh.

Getting a message from God to kill every criminal in the city: believable
Jumping from a building: impossible!

They didn't actually get a message from God. But even if they did, did God say you now have superhuman powers? You still have to follow logic no matter what supernatural element is introduced.

They are saints. Blessed by God on a holy mission. Essentially they had supernatural powers. They hit with every shot and never got hit themselves. They had incredibly luck. You could say the hand of God protected them.

God mode enabled. Yep, that's what that looks like!

You can see that when they and Il Duce fire on each other, they are suddenly unable to hit each other because they are all saints. Only minor wounds and one finger by the one guy who wasn't all that saintly. Their invulnerability and the 100% bullseye power cancel each other out :D

Oh, it's all so clear now. Thanks for the update. 

Yes, they all have their saintly forcefields protecting them from one another's bullets. Rocco on the other hand...not so much. Almost like IL Duce was saying, "wtf is this guy doing here?", and trying to take him out himself.

I'm with you on this one. One of the many reason why this movie received a 3/10 in my book. And the fact that they are supposedly protected by God as i discover in this thread makes it all the more pathetic.

I often come across "most overrated movie ever"-threads and every time i have to sigh, but in this case, i couldn't agree more. Rarely have i been so much in contradiction with an IMDb rating.

Now at least i know to never watch the sequel.


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs
