The Adam Project: Why The Bullet Doesn't Hit Louis
Warning! SPOILERS for The Adam Project.
The Adam Project features several spectacular action scenes with iconic '60s and '70s music in their backdrops — however, the one moment that perhaps pushes the film's sci-fi envelope a bit too far is Louis' bullet dodge scene.

The Adam Project centers on a rogue fighter pilot named Adam Reed (Ryan Reynolds) who travels back in time to find his missing wife Laura (Zoe Saldaña).

Towards the climactic ending of The Adam Project, Adam decides to blow up an electromagnetic accelerator, otherwise known as the Adam Project, to prevent time travel from being invented and terminate Sorian's mission to rule the world in the future. As a battle breaks loose between Adam and Sorian's evil forces, a bullet breaks the electromagnetic seal of the accelerator and triggers a chain reaction of visually stunning action scenes.
