I can't stand it when a movie has faceless goons treat their guns like they only work from close enough range that it makes the point of using them utterly meaningless, leading to them getting decimated in a melee brawl with an unarmed or otherwise overwhelmed opponent.
Case 1: Equilibrium - This movie is packed to the fucking gills with "gun kata" fight scenes where Cleric John Preston shows off how "unstoppable" he is by shooting crowds of opponents in the face while they blithely stand around him in tight circles, missing every shot like stormtroopers masquerading as trenchcoat motorcyclists. This happens again... and again... and again. Every time, they rush in close like it's a group hug and not a gun fight.
Case 2: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom - In this particular scene, a deadly velociraptor has just been released from its cage, and the only man armed with a submachine gun and not a cattle prod races forward to shoot the dinosaur from a distance of arm's-fucking-length rather than stay allll the way the fuck back where he's safe from its skull-crushing jaws.
Case 3: The Dark Knight Rises - Batman and Catwoman meet on a rooftop, where they are accosted by Bane's League of Shadows goons, armed with the classic ninja tool: handguns. Instead of shooting either character from a distance that a bullet can feasibly travel in milliseconds, the gang of killers rush in and engage the duo close enough that they can all be punched, or in the case of the gentleman on the far left of this screenshot, just fall over without even getting touched by anybody at all.
