Very good, except the same flaw in almost every gun battle

Here we go again, show the shooter, the assassin, never hesitating to pull the trigger, remember the shooting in the neck after the car chase. Show him as ruthless and fast for 90 minutes, but then in the climactic scene where he finally has his prey dead to rights, and don't forget he said earlier the guy was faster than him, he starts talking with him instead of shooting him. This happens in so many films it's shocking, yet somehow predictable.

Haha, yeah. It's annoying that they can't write something better.

I know, I thought of Samuel L Jackson in 'The Incredibles' when I saw that scene:

(paraphrasing) "So this guy has me cold. There's nothing I can do. And then he starts monologuing. I mean, the guy has me on a platter and he won't shut up!"
