I'm really done with one particular movie / TV trope: a defenseless protagonist is being pursued by a bad guy with a gun, the tension is building and the music gets really dramatic, it comes to the climactic moment and the bad guy finally has them cornered and raises their gun. The camera cuts away and we hear a loud gunshot, BANG! Oh no, the bad guy got them! Oh wait! We cut back, and it was actually a gunshot from another character off camera, who shot the bad guy just in the nick of time!
STOP WITH THIS MOVIE / TV PEOPLE.
