Something I just noticed; possible 'goof' (*SPOILERS*)


In the moment after Shaw asks "Do you still execute in this state" and steps on the "third rail," when the camera pans up to his face and reveals his widened eyes as the current electrocutes him, he clearly lowers his line of sight as he falls forward. I imagine this was Shaw's natural human reaction to falling toward whatever was there to break his fall (mattress?), but it's quite noticeable...

And why did he give up his gun if he had no intent of being taken alive? Heck, he was holding a cop at gunpoint and had the upper hand. Just didn't make sense...
