The Organization has really let its standards go to the wind after Invisible War flopped.ĭoes anyone ever actively say “Big Cheese” to refer to a person of authority outside of 1930’s pulp novels with the possible film noir on the side? That and I felt it was just a bit too of Leon to have a phone conversation, think for a few seconds, stomp his foot, then say to himself “I can totally take that dude” before rushing in. But, Separate Ways just integrates the two.
Actually, she calls him between the “Mendez pops up behind the door and strangles Leon” and “Leon gets his ass kicked and is saved by Ada” scenes. Or wherever the hell she’s hanging out being useless. Leon gets a call from Hunnigan back in the good old USA. But the encounter did end, that’s what really counts. I guess there wasn’t a lot of “escaping” involved. Also, Ada sort of did get shot and captured. Well, more was let go, then decided he wanted more, then had his assailant’s attention diverted. When last we left our adventurers, they had both narrowly escaped what could have been a deadly encounter with Chief Mendez.
