The part in Schindler's List where the Nazis are seeing how many people they can kill with one bullet by lining them up and shooting through their heads.

Main character shows up just in time to prevent the chick he's into from getting executed in a furnace, only to find that there's no way he could do it without blowing his cover. Said chick is roasted right before his eyes. That and the scene where they start shooting puppies.

Yeah, those scenes were evil. No compassion or anything other than from the main Cleric for the Tetragrammton.

Shooting his partner in the face scene that Lord Pounder pointed out was pretty damn cold, then there was the scene where he was leading a bunch of sense offenders to safety then he got caught at the end and had to let them all be executed to keep his cover.

Equilibrium, highly reccomended movie BTW.

Why is that cold? Greedo said he was going to kill Han, so he fired first to eliminate the threat. He had a blaster pointed at him. He had every right to fire first.

Watching from the perspective of the child i was at the time, Han has just agreed to help our hero's i expected him to conduct himself as a hero. He didn't untill Lucas fucked it up.

I don't remember that in the longest day, I do remember something similar happening in Saving Private Ryan, but it was really cold because they knew the guy was surrendering and laughed after they shot him.
