Even though I find Tom Cruise to be kind of a soup sandwich, his gun handling was excellent in Collateral. He was definately well trained and remembered the training well.

I was also impressed by Keanu Reeves and the fact that he wanted to be trained for Street Kings so he could be a more convincing character. He learned well too, I found his gun handling to be superb in Street Kings.

It was, the gunfire itself was weak though, a 4506 indoors is not a popgun. He sed good grip, stance, aimed, everything though, and it was a good movie

Yeah the gunfire really annoyed me. The first time I watched it and heard the .45 making that small popping sound, I was like, "WTF??!!"

Yeah the sound of it on screen really got to me. I guess the sound editing department didn't quite get the sound a .45 makes indoors. Obviously on set when fired, it would be loud especially indoors.

The duel wielding with Teal'c is to be expected. The character wasn't an Earth trained soldier, he wouldn't know how to properly hold a gun from our planet, so can't blame him

Look at Max Payne, he learned so much for Shooter and didn't use any of it. I think he is against guns too, so I don't like him.
Given the nature of the game that influenced it, you can't really blame Wahlberg for Max Payne. On top of that, how many "shoot-em-ups" has he done since Shooter? Same thing goes for Tom Jane.

How many movies has Tom Jane made since the punisher? Like, all movies counted? Walhberg is a raving anti too. Brad Pitt apparently owns a USP.

Thomas Jane did "The Mist" in 2007. I'm fairly certain that his character in that one didn't have the same kind of training that Frank Castle did...

And, honestly, I thought that it was Angelina Jolie who owned a USP.
