The characters do not in any way shape or form act in a way that human beings do, or should.
I'll give an example of what I mean with just 1 scene... Let's see if anyone would act the way the protagonist did.
You are angry at someone. They are also angry at you.
They tell you to apologize, or they will shoot you.
Do you:
A) Apologize.
B) Tell them to put the gun down.
C) Run right the fuck out of that room as fast as you can.
D) Engage in combat, and swiftly attempt to disarm them.
E) Tell them to fuck off.
The protagonist has gone with E here.
They proceed to aim the gun at you and fire a single shot.
Do you:
A) Take cover
B) Charge them and take the gun away by force
C) Feign as if you were shot/play dead
D) Surrender / Apologize / Attempt to reason with them
E) Put your hands all up and down on your body all like "I have not been shot"
The protagonist has gone with E again here.
They keep the gun they just fired at you pointed at you...
Do you:
A) Come to your senses finally, and kick the gun out of their hand.
B) Quickly grab the gun and point it away from you.
C) Take cover
D) Run away
E) Slowly, and gently reach for the gun keeping it pointed at you all the time as you eventually get them to put the gun down.
Protagonist went with E again... And this is how he survived!?
You would think, maybe that is just the character of this man. He has ZERO fear of anything. Cool as a cucumber, fearless man. Nothing will ever break his cool.
Later on same day...
Some crazy bitch got him tied up and threatens to chop his junk off. Now, he is screaming and crying for help like a little baby... That breaks guys character. You can't be a stonewall stoic calm response to being fired upon like that, but then a very short time later get all crazy when someone pulls a blade on you. It's inconsistent...
Yet at the same time it makes me think of this scene from Rumble in the Bronx.
