Once again depends on the film and what it is trying to achieve.

Serious military pieces should be short and too the point with gun fights and hand to hand.

Fun and stylish pieces like Way of the Gun, Desperado look good with the over kill of action I think

i agree with grant, depends on the type of film, and sometimes on a seane by seane baseis. It might look better to have a guy get the clip emtyped into him rather then just getting hit once and going down.

Maybe 2 shot kill?

Do't you just hate those films where the baddie gets shot like 500 times and he's still hanging in there, still alive, and about to grab something like a bomb detonator. Dang, those films wind me up something terrible! You just want to shout out "Die already, we want to see what happens in the rest of the film!"

Yep, 1 shot kill, get it all over an done with and move on!

Unless, of course, It's the leader of the bad guys. IN which case he gets eaten by a shark, or burned to death with acid

If you're going for drama, one shot one kill is the best way to go. Ever seen "The Negotiator"?
