Good examples. I'm suprised that no one so far has mentioned "Grosse
Point Blank" :)
I can see it as a good model for a character trying to woo someone who
doesn't know the character is a shadowrunner. (And yes, my GM did this
to me before I saw the movie.) :)
Other movies that come to mind: "Aliens", "The Godfather" movies,
"The
Usual Suspects", "Last Man Standing" would be a great premise for a solo
run, "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoir Dogs", "El Mariachi",
"Desperado", and
any other movies which have been mentioned that I'm forgeting would be
good runs, or at least could be adapted for use as a run.
