Anyone notice the Leon a.k.a. The Professional reference?

I'm not sure if it was actually a reference or a blatant rip off. Either way, this was a decent little action flick. Definitely a B-Movie by all standards but that doesn't mean it's bad. I do consider this a waste of talent by Mickey Rourke. However, at the time he didn't have much of a choice. I'm glad he's back to where he should be. Easily the best actor of his generation.

Blatant Ripoff. Even the music was a ripoff during that scene.

I think they're referring to the scene toward the end where Rourke's character's brother is walking through that tunnel, thinking he's getting away, only to be shot in the back. The shot and the music were definitely very similar.
