There's nothing bad about a movie that skillfully depicts magazine exchange.



"An action movie that properly depicts a magazine swap is trustworthy." Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but it's a standard that can be applied with a fair degree of accuracy.


To begin with, a gun cannot keep firing bullets infinitely. You may think I'm being arrogant, but surprisingly many action movies ignore this truth. With a handgun, it takes a dozen shots. Even with an assault rifle, the magazine is empty after 30 shots. If you fire continuously on full auto, you'll use up all the bullets in about two seconds. However, in many action movies, the characters keep firing bullets on full auto as they please. I often feel like asking, "Hey, when did they change the magazine?" But maybe the reason is, "This is a movie, so don't be rude. If they keep adding shots where the bullets are being loaded, it will slow down the tempo."




However, "The Den of Thieves" depicts this magazine exchange in a straightforward manner. This makes the gun action more realistic, and drags the viewer into the urban battle of Los Angeles where real bullets fly. There is no doubt that the model for this Jack Reacher is the masterpiece of crime action " Heat " (95).
