no, not without a curved barrel or specifically designed bullet that changes flight based on aerodynamics...

the big problem is that a bullet is going to compress upon firing and changing these properties will effect flight.

So, no is the answer. Hence why the movie sucked...and they didn't really even explain WHY they had to curve the bullets in the first place...if they are such special assasins, why not kill up close in silence...

It's just a movie, enjoy it as entertainment.

Bleh, that movie sucked real bad...chose the wrong guy for the part and the acting was terrible

The movie dialouge was very cheesy, though the action was very entertainning. If you choose to watch this movie, I would suggest to choose a theatre with superior sound equipment. Without the soundtrack, this movie would be very boring.

Angelina Jolie sold the movie well. Though her ass scene was rather disappointing.

Is it me or is it that it is either Samual L Jackson or Morgan Freeman as always the one that plays the mastermind, role leader, or assassin recruiter character?

I would watch Original Sin first before Taking Lives, if seeing her doing it... is your purpose...

A 5.56 round from an M16 spirals, it doesn't fly in a straight line. Depending on distance to target, you have to adjust slightly to compensate for this. That said, the kind of curving in the movie still seems exaggerated... Need to switch brain off

Submit the curving bullet theory to Myth Busters...seem like it'll be interesting

Jolie's ass shot was worth the 10 bucks. But the movie was entertaining to me.

I also read the comic after watching the movie, the comic is nothing like the movie. The movie only loosely adapted on the comic.

ybbiz34 · 06-30-2008, 07:24 PM

I enjoyed the movie. I didn't know what to expect going in, so I was pleasantly surprised. It kept me entertained the entire time, and for that, I give it a 3 out of 4.

All bullets spiral, which is done to make the bullet fly straight...
