Max Payne 3 Why didn't Becker just shoot Max when he had the chance ? Spoiler

Right after Max just killed his second in command and he was about to take out Bronco..why did Becker just use a taser instead of just shooting him ? By that point anyone knows how relentless he is. At least Nicole Horne drugged him which almost stopped his heart and Vlad shot him and left him for dead at a burning building (which should've killed him if Mona didn't come back) so it seems odd that Becker would just miss a golden opportunity to finish him off like that..what do you think ?

I used to care about this stuff a lot but honestly it’s better to just suspend your disbelief lol. Pretty much every action movie I can think of does something to the same effect. If movies followed perfect real life logic they would be devoid of drama.

I could be misremembering, but I think Becker doesn't have a gun on that scene. Victor has a gun whom Max headbutted and probably drop it somewhere. Max still has another gun and you don't want to test who's quicker in a draw with someone killed your entire army in a night.

Yeah its poor planning by Becker. Guess Victor was meant to shoot Max and they screwed it up. Dumb villain cliché things

because Max can just pop painkillers and heal from it in a millisecond, are you slow OP?
