Jack Traven's agency is remarkably consistent — he never stops making tactical decisions, improvising solutions, and taking physical risks. His control swings wildly as Payne's traps spring and the bus situation worsens, but his agency rarely dips below 65. The gap is narrow by action-film standards: Jack is both highly agentic AND his choices usually work. The widest separations come when the situation defeats him despite peak effort — Helen's death, the failed wire cut, Harry's murder — where control craters but agency holds because Jack is still fighting.
