That sheik at the end was either suicidal or dumb


So you are holding a hostage with a knife to her neck and someone is pointing a gun at you at close distance, I would say it is not advisable to stick your big fat head a foot out to the side.

Anyone with half a decent aim would not hesitate to put a bullet in your head at that range.

Maybe next time try to put half of you head behind your hostage?

That was very strange. I'd say at that point they were going for aesthetic and went for a dramatic finish with just the thought of finishing and making the shot look good.

I think the idea was that he assumed Bryan would be too nervous to shoot someone so close to his daughter. What he should have done, besides hiding more behind her, is to move back and forth, making the shot harder.

If he was smart he would have sent the girl out the door, and hid under the bed.

He was too fat to hide under the bed and he would had been taken!


Its that man again!!

I just pictured bryan pulling the sheik out by his legs and him screaming lol.

reply

Yeah as he's pulling him the bed is being pulled as well since fat boy is stuck underneath. He's screaming to get the bed off him so Bryan just starts jumping up, and down on the bed eventually crushing his rib cage. The End!

Good point. At about 6-10 feet, even a poor shooter could hit the Sheik's fat head. He was really too fat hide behind the girl anyway. He needed to use the 3 girls to shield himself.
