Anyone finds it disturbing that LUCY shoots an innocent Taxi driver for not speaking English in the trailer/commercial? Antibody Jul 09, 16:09

Yes! {nm} GMov Jul 09, 16:10

well its just in the leg. But, i think it could be taken as more she shot him cuz he wasnt being helpful and she didnt want to waste time {nm} islander Jul 09, 16:24

She could shoot a tire. The trailer/commerical cuts off the subtitle, so you previously thought she killed him. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 16:33

You're looking for morality from an R rated action film? Try VeggieTales. islander Jul 09, 16:51

Can you name another movie hero/heroine that has done the same when there are non-violent alternatives? {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 16:56

Good Terminator in T2 {nm} notfabio Jul 09, 17:06

Han Solo before CGI {nm} notfabio Jul 09, 17:09

Guido wasn't an innocent bystander. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:11

Guido. Heh. Greedo's Italian brother. {nm} Paul2k Jul 09, 17:12

That's wacist! {nm} Mister_Wu Jul 09, 18:59

The cops were shooting at them. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:12

didnt Keanu shoot the hostage in Speed? {nm} islander Jul 09, 17:17

spock and kirk shooting nero in trek 2009 islander Jul 09, 17:19

ah well bad guy never mind. but a case where hero doesnt always do the totally right thing {nm} islander Jul 09, 17:22

Nero is the Villain. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:22

His partner isn't an innocent bystander. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:22

I was thinking of the guard at the psych ward that he shot in the knees, because John ordered him not to kill anyone {nm} RogerMore Jul 09, 17:56

He's not an innocent bystander in the storyline. I thought that was made clear. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:47

and threatens to inject drain cleaner in a guy's neck, breaks many bones, etc etc {nm} BSmurf Jul 09, 17:51

The Comedian assasinated Kennedy, Dr. Manhattan let him execute a pregnant woman... MrZero Jul 09, 18:24

The point of Watchmen is that they aren't really heroes RogerMore Jul 09, 20:19

Well. . . (spoiler) second gary Jul 09, 21:34

Lucy is supposed to be a Hero? News to me. {nm} DTravel Jul 10, 17:31

Its the movies.....change perspective a little and you get a totally different story. {nm} mishra Jul 09, 16:54

bada-boom! {nm} charlie Jul 09, 16:28

no. {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 09, 16:32

maybe the needed context is before that scene...she trusted some ordinary person and it backfired...we'll see {nm} tealfan Jul 09, 17:13

The 1st trailer seems to be saying that, as she starts accessing more parts of her brain, she fears she's becoming less human. Paul2k Jul 09, 17:25

you're so smart {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 17:33

S-M-R-T! {nm} Paul2k Jul 09, 17:38

+1 {nm} Dorfman Jul 09, 17:35

Those Bourne killed were still targets and via flashback. She's like Jean Grey turning into Dark Phoenix, though she killed main allies.. {nm} Antibody Jul 09, 17:39

Jean Grey turning into the Phoenix is more "hero becomes villain", as opposed to "protagonist becomes cold, calculating morally-ambiguous Paul2k Jul 09, 17:58

One more Bourne example (Bourne Legacy spoils) RogerMore Jul 09, 18:03

ITA - looks like the shooting is MEANT to be brutal and callous, a sign that Lucy's not the person she used to be {nm} CG63 Jul 10, 11:35

i think y'all are overthinking this. a guy gets shot in the leg in a movie for a poor reason. so what? thats hardly the worst thing thats ev horrorfanatic Jul 09, 17:45

its thats the true context, its worst than "poor". {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 17:52

well yeah, i worded that badly....the point i was trying to make was that worse things have been done by the "heroes" of many movies, whys t horrorfanatic Jul 09, 18:01

its potentially reflective of a hot button political issue {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 18:08

oh. political correctness. i should have known. i got no patience for that sort of ridiculous nitpicking and neither will the boxoffice... {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 09, 18:14

no, it revolves around immigration, not political correctness {nm} Moviesnob Jul 09, 18:36

the boxoffice wont care about that either... {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 09, 22:38

who's talking about the box office? The question was if you were personally offended. {nm} Moviesnob Jul 10, 09:20

I may be wrong but I remember Total Recall having a lot of dead bystanders. Didn't Arnie use one as a shield? {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 10, 00:41

After he'd been shot by the bad guys, IIRC {nm} RogerMore Jul 10, 07:46

surprised this wasn't in the press more...I'm sure there would be an uproar if the nationalities were reversed tealfan Jul 10, 08:52

It's the Jack Bauer special MiyazakiFan Jul 10, 09:03

Don't be so sensitive. It's a movie. Actually, it is a trailer to a movie. {nm} Juiced Jul 10, 10:56
