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: There are many who could contend that this comparison neglects the fact that the circumstances driving gangsters and terrorists are significantly different.
