Huge mistake by Addison (spoiler)


After holding people hostage for several hours with a shot gun, preventing others from attacking him by pointing it at others, he doesn't even have a round in the chamber when it's finally time to shoot. (He had to pump the action before shooting the Sheriff.) An experienced killer would never have done that.

the mothere was sick and the children were too small to go anywhere, in his mind (addisons) he saved them and was mereley waiting out the storm with them

Wrong scene, LOCO. I was talking about the one near the end at the old couple's house.

yeh just as bad as all the other movies in the world when you see someone rack in a round, not shoot it and rack it again. or cock the trigger 2 different times before shooting.....it happens

My other peeve about guns in movies is when the simple act of pointing the gun at someone causes a "click-clack" sound. The Simpsons did a funny parody of this with bows and arrows.

I couldn't believe that myself. He was guarding them the whole time with an unloaded gun. What would he do this? This means that is Kristopherson took his shot, all this would have been over. He should have stopped at A Star is Born.
