Wouldn't shooting Perkins in a diamond formation cause one of the shooters to be hit?
Towards the end of John Wick (2014), Perkins is summoned by Winston. For whatever poor decision she made, she walked into the center of 4 ominous looking characters. Winston let her know her Continental transgression was unforgivable and the four shooters each shot Perkins.
Wouldn't one of the shooters be hit with one of the bullets? I suppose hollow tips would solve that issue, but in any case, this seems a bad design for a planned execution.
Best Answer
As with many other aspects of the John Wick films, there's a sense of symbolism and style in some of the scenes.
There's absolutely no reasonable reason for an execution squad to arrange themselves in this manner in order to execute their business.
It's pure theatre. It's there to look good and bring the figurative into the physical and tell the story.
We know you, and you have been judged. We have you physically and figuratively surrounded. There is no escape. You will emphatically die, and you will be accepting of that judgement and sentence.
