The novel supports you, dt. If memory serves, Puzo wrote something like this:when Michael whipped out the gun, Sollozzo's "reactions were so acute that he had already begun to shield himself. But Michael, younger, his reflexes sharper, pulled the trigger...McCluskey turned to Michael with a look of outrage, as if he should surrender..."
TB in the movie, there is the quick flash in Sollozzo's eyes a split second before Michael shoots him, as if he KNOWS its coming but its too late. It is yet another of those little things that makes the GF such a great film.
