Getting shot

In most films Ive seen, and from what ive heard, getting shot is a painful experience, fatally shut in the gut is even worse.

But all the characters shot in this film seem to feel no pain. Not a scream, not a oww.

Especially at the end, where the 2 main characters speak to each-other like in a romance film, even though they are both shot and one is dying.

So which is the correct interpretation? Would people the natural painkillers kicking in be able to give a wounded dying person, calm final moments?

Harrison Ford yes, average schmoe, not so much.

Why do you read a discussion about a film that you haven't watched?

In the last shootout between Ford and Pitt they shoot each other through the window of the boat. They can only shoot each other from the chest up and somehow Ford manages to shoot Pitt just above the waist.

Yeah, that was pretty moronic.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
