* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: About 2/3 through the film, Colt heads to Luger's house because he's checking to see if he's in trouble. As Colt quietly and slowly ascends the staircase, a shadow of a guy's hand can be seen creeping towards Colt, but pulls back when Colt turns around. This shadowy figure is never heard from again.
