Quick Shot

Quick Shot is about an ex-marine with the special ability to slow down time and shoot at impossible targets. His life changes when gets recruited by an underground organization bent on taking over the U.S. government.

Quick Shot, also known as Vincent Brady is a Marine veteran who just returned to his hometown of Star County. After receiving the Medal Of Honor and an honorary discharge from the war in Iraq, he looks for a new purpose in life. While he was drinking at a local bar, it gets robbed by four masked men. During the robbery, Vincent kills all four robbers using his special ability to temporarily slow down time and shoot at impossible targets. After leaving the bar, Vincent visits the Star County Church, where he discusses the justification of killing while Father Johnson preaches that no killing is justified. When Vincent leaves the Church, he passes out in his car and falls into a deep dream where he remembers his experiences during his tour in Iraq. While in Iraq, Vincent and his platoon are ambushed by Iraqi terrorist soldiers, and the only ones who survive are he and another fellow soldier named Sandra. Vincent is forced to use his special abilities and is discovered by Sandra as she suffers a heat stroke. After Vincent confesses his past, Sandra shows empathy for him, and they both make love while staying in a campsite. After that, Vincent wakes up and tries to stop another robbery that becomes a high-speed car chase. Vincent's vision becomes blurry, and he gets into a horrible car accident. While in the hospital, two detectives informed him that one of the four masked men killed in the bar was an undercover cop. After several months in the Hospital, Sandra tries to assist Vincent in escaping, but because of his injuries, Vincent is quickly caught by the authorities. When Vincent becomes fully healed, he goes to court and, to the surprise of all his supporters, he pleads guilty and ends up getting thirty years in prison. After serving five years in prison, he is visited by a man named Colonel Lee. Colonel Lee is the leader of a highly advanced underground organization. His organization is so highly advanced that they're able to clone a dead body of Vincent through just a sample of his blood. Vincent agrees to it and they clone a dead body of himself, allowing him to escape prison. After he escapes, they take him to their underground headquarters and put him through training to enhance his powers even more. When he completes the training, they send him off to his first mission with one hundred of their soldiers. Unbeknownst to Vincent, the mission was to kill American soldiers and take over all of their bases throughout the country. After Vincent protests, Colonel Lee gives Vincent a choice to join them or die. Vincent refuses to join them and escapes. Vincent reunites with Sandra at a bar, and they start plotting to dismantle Colonel Lee's organization with the help of the authorities. The following day, they both get together to ask Sandra's family friend Bobby for help. Bobby builds a battle suit for Vincent. Vincent and Sandra devise a plan to meet with the 2 detectives previously involved in Vincent's case. They attempted to give evidence to the Detectives through the DNA found in Vincent's dead body. However, while at the cemetery, Colonel Lee's leader, Jack, got to the scene first. Jack killed the 2 detectives and Sandra at the scene. Vincent becomes enraged with revenge and has Bobby upgrade his battle suit to carry more weapons and ammo. The final showdown between Vincent and the underground organization begins. Vincent kills every single soldier from the underground organization. He fights off and kills Jack. Now it's just him and Colonel Lee. Colonel Lee is revealed to have powers similar to Vincent, except he gets temporary superhuman strength and is indestructible. Vincent is almost killed by Colonel Lee, but Bobby comes out to help, and they both finally defeat Colonel Lee. Colonel Lee dies in prison after a few cellmates seek revenge from the dead soldiers who were killed during his attack on the U.S. military base. Afterward, Vincent is given a pardon from the U.S. President as a thank you for taking down the underground organization. During a huge press conference, the Star County mayor gives Vincent his thanks. Vincent invites onto the stage the undercover cop's son that Vincent accidentally killed during the Bar robbery. The undercover cop's son shoots and kills Vincent. A funeral was held for Vincent, and Bobby gave a eulogy in honor of him. Vincent's casket is lowered into the ground, and Bobby pays his last respects.
