Jack Reacher (2012)

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, when Charlie is setting up to shoot, he pulls the slide back on his rifle and the bullets are shown. They are in the rifle backwards.

Correction: The ammunition is not in backwards, the camera angle changes to a reverse direction. When Charlie starts to pull the slide back, the tips of the ammo would be facing to the viewer's right (Charlie's left). Thus, during the close up, the viewer expects the camera just "zoomed in" and the tips should still be pointing to the viewer's right. But the camera switches to an overhead shot from Charlie's prospective and the tips are pointing to the viewer's left, which is still Charlie's left.

Correction: You are completely wrong. The scene at 24:14 depicts the action in standard view and there is no way the bullet points should be facing against the action of the feed.
