How to cancel an execution?

[Neonwarrior]

I've died countless times due to being stuck once my character finishes off an enemy with a heavy attack. It takes a good 3 to 5 seconds for an execution to finish and all the while I get stabbed repeatedly, which does not cancel the execution, leading to my death.

So is there any way to get out of it? I'm playing Raider, which means that I kind of have no choice but to use heavy attacks.

i think you can just walk away :)
not entirely sure tho

I know it ends sooner if you don't do anything, but I think you can just dodge out of it. (sometimes I've also just been able to move away and have it end as well though, but I haven't exactly gone to lengths to test how to end it)

Definitely can't dodge out of it once you actually start the execution.

Release LT to get out of the execution lock.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant when you're at the point to choose which execution you're going to do.

Simple, ignore the choice. You are not forced to do an execution.

That's what I was saying to him...lol

Or you could simply just finish them with a light attack. Those don't give you the option of an execution.

You still get locked in for a second, unable to target others until you manage to slip out of it. It stops you in your tracks. I should be able to just immediately get out of it through movement alone.
