It's a movie. I didn't write the script.
In real life situation they would have run away.
I know. That's what reminded me of that. All the heavy, improbable scripting was about the same as Cage's fight scene that turned out to be a scene in a scene.

Every time I see a rousing fight scene where the hero has melee weapons and takes out a WHOLE GROUP of enemies armed with ranged weapons, I think of that line from a book, Star Trek: Ship of the Line. Riker, Bateson and Scotty are discussing advantages humans have versus klingons and they comment on how silly the klingons' prediliction for hand-to-hand combat is.

"One blue haired old lady with a phaser could hold off an army with bat'leths."

Of course that would not make nearly as good a fight scene in a movie. But if movies took reality into account at any point, Ryan George wouldn't have nearly as much material for his "pitch meeting" skits. :cool:
