** Some fans noted the similarities between this movie and ''Film/{{Taken}}'' due to the [[HumanTraffickers human trafficking]] plot. Come 2021, Creator/LiamNeeson did ''The Marksman'', which involved a retired Marine taking on a Mexican cartel and saving a young child in the process. The BigBad of the movie even had a brother who is killed by the protagonist and the final showdown takes place in a barn, just like ''Last Blood''.
