You do realize it was a movie and not real 'life and death', Cruise was firing blanks, didn't really hit anything, and the blood was fake?

It was Cruise doing the acting. He was trained for the movie by Mick Gould, a former SAS soldier.



Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Duh - I understand very well it was fake. But I also understand that it was very realistic - unlike 99% of Hollywood - especially Quigley Down Under.

Well my appreciation of Tom just went up a notch - he pulled off the shooting scenes very, very well. I didn't know he had those kind of reflexes.
