Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) in The Matrix
Gun scenes in movies have ranged from climatic masterpieces to essential plot advancement points. Few directors have mastered the art of the gun scene, however the consumers know that a quality gun scene can make a movie successful.

Even though the lobby scene of The Matrix doesn’t feature the now infamous bullet-time or time-slice technology, it still stands out. A gunfight with that much firepower indoors should make a significant impact on the environment, and the way the walls and columns just disintegrate throughout the fight goes a long way to making every bullet feel real. The action itself isn’t all that spectacular, but the photography is what gives it that modern shine. The composition of the heroes in that claustrophobic space and the way that camera follows them as they effortlessly glide through it creates a unique scene that is often parodied but never duplicated.
