premise: The scenes of planning terrorist operations in Odd Man Out , The Devil's Own , and Jordan's The Crying Game (1992) are almost identical to the scenes in gangster films like The Killing (1956) and The Asphalt Jungle (1950), where the hoodlums carefully put together their capers.
hypothesis: The scenes in gangster movies where the criminals are plotting their capers are reminiscent of the terrorist operation planning in other films.
