How did Martin get up after being shot multiple times?


I am so fed up of seeing bad guys waking up from dead after being shot several times. Do Hollywood filmmakers don't know any better? This formula was so tried and tested that it just doesn't surprise me anymore.

He didn't really 'get up'. He used the last of his energy & adrenaline to lift his hand & grab Laura.
Even without cinematic license, a psychopath who's last goal is to take their victim with them to death might just do this.


I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

still it's impossible for any human being to be able to do that after being shot multiple times from different angles.

Its highly unlikely but not impossible. It depends on the caliber of bullet, the exact location of the shots etc.

yeah maybe what you're saying is right. Laura didn't exactly shoot him in one spot. I bet he wouldn't have been able to 'get up' or summon his last energy to point the gun at Laura if she shot him straight on his heart or kidneys multiple times.

It fit in this movie though.
