Max and Annie, our protagonists, are running from Vince, a contract killer. They run in to the subway, thinking they've escaped. But Vince has jumped on to the back of the last car and is making his way to the front. They run for a while, but can't get off at any of the stops because Vince covers the doors. Vince approaches and yells "Max, I do this for a living!". Max steps out in front of Vince and, eyes shut, fires round after round from the gun Vince left by his cab; Vince does likewise with a gun he stole from a security guard.

Vince reaches for a spare magazine that isn't there. He looks around for a while, seemingly frustrated, as a bloodstain on his shirt spreads into view. He sits down on one of the seats, and Max sits opposite. Vince then looks up, referencing a story he told earlier about a man dying on the subway, but nobody noticing. As Max and Annie walk away, the subway continues on, carrying Vince's body.

How about "Chase"?
Comment 2 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
It should be noted that only reason Max won was because the doors blocked him out. Normally, Vincent goes for the middle of the chest/head (we see this in the morgue scene). Without his clean shot, he was pretty much done for. (Max's earlier shoulder shot probably didn't help much either)

Once I've added the rest of Matt's writeups for this film I'm going to rewrite this entry, as it doesn't currently do old Vincent justice...
Comment 4 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
I take it my entries came in at just right time, OB...
Comment 5 by 'Monk' (reply to this comment)
what about mirrors, Vincent couldn't shoot at Max well in the office because of all his reflections.
Comment 6 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
This write-up should be more geared towards the action on the train, seeing as the office sequence is at least 10 minutes before that.
