The Moment: Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) has been captured by the cops, who for some reason set up a sniper rifle in the interrogation room and load a bullet into it. After 47 insists that he be let go, the cop says, "Last time I checked you're the one locked in here with me, and I'm the one with the gun", causing 47 to retort, "No, Mr. Sanders, you're locked in here with me, and you just brought me mine." 47 then kicks the table, which somehow causes the sniper rifle to fire a bullet, at which point 47 raises his cuffed arm into the path of the bullet, allowing him to make a slick escape from jail. Why It's Going To Suck: It's so. Freaking. Stupid. Aren't interrogation tables meant to be screwed into the floor for precisely this reason? How can he move his hand fast enough to catch the bullet? And why is the rifle even in there in the first place? It's totally at odds with the smart strategy required by players in the video games, and confirms pretty much every worry fans had about the movie. ...And The Rest Of The Movie?: It's almost certainly going to blow. The rest of the trailer released so far looks like overblown garbage, far away from the stealthy thrills of the game series, and stuck with crappy CGI to boot.
