There's an hired psycho killer after you and your son. He's tracking you and he knows where you plan to go next. Why would you not make sure he's dead when you have the chance?
shareI totally agree. He should have taken him out in the accountant's hotel room but then it would have been a very short movie.
shareI knew he would show up to kill Hanks' character at the end when he didn't kill him there and then.
shareIt was in the heat of the moment, bullets flying all over and such. He didn't have time to think logic: "If I don't kill this man, he may continue to track me. Therefore, I should make sure he is dead now." His mind was focused on the accountant's records. He had his son outside, waiting for him; he had to get back to the son. He probably didn't know that he had hit Jude Law in the face: He just fired, he didn't see when or if any of the bullets hit. And lastly - the diner scene made clear that Hanks was afraid of the hitman. Notice the way Hanks starts to sweat.
All things considered, I get why he didn't finish the job.
he was up against a Shotgun & he knew he'd missed the guy because of the glass shattering but I'm certain the regret kicked in when he was shot in the shoulder driving away.
