First of all, does he have some ethical guidelines against killing or is he just straight-up Charles Bronson/James Bond?
I would imagine he neutralized him after a certain point and could have tied and gagged him or knocked him out.
Additionally, didn't he need information from him before shooting him?

I'll put it this way your jack ryan right not a big person, your trying not to be killed by this massive guy bigger stronger than you. Would you be able to knock him out and have time to find something to tie him up with?
Especially when he clearly didn't get knocked out when he crashed into the toilet bowl.
It's a flight or fight response
"Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions"
I remember from the book "Patriot Games" how the prosecutor asked why Ryan didn't just shoot the accused in the hip instead of killing him. Ryan's response was along the lines of, "This isn't the Old West on TV where everyone can shoot a dime out of the air. And, if you don't neutralize the threat, he can still neutralize you."
shareThis is a joke, yes?
shareWhy did you post a spoiler w/o a warning?
My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.
The movie had been out for more than a year when he posted this. That is enough time for the movie to be at the theaters, on DVD and shown on cable.
No need for spoilers after that much time.
Don't get me wrong, I hate the jaqk offs who post spoilers five minutes after a TV show has aired. But I also tend to stay away from those boards until I've seen the latest episode because of those jaqk offs.
Exactly!
People who whine about spoilers are just spoiled brats themselves.
Anyone worried about coming across a spoilers should stay Off the boards until they've seen the movie/TV episode themselves.
The only nod towards spoiler etiquette I follow is in not putting a spoiler in a thread title. Otherwise, you place your bets and take your chances.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
I'm not a "brat," junior. Just because I don't watch a flick the instant it comes out, it doesn't mean I need to duck its board until I do. Mind your manners.
And since the OP violated your own "spoiler etiquette," why are you taking exception to my question?

Don't name-call and be surprised when one takes exception to same. That's what a "kid" does.
And you have every right to be dead-wrong about acceptable imdb behavior, so enjoy exercising that right.
My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.
Again, the movie had been out for more than a year when he posted the topic, and if you don't want to worry about spoilers, don't go to a board where they discuss a movie you haven't seen.
