The Federal Building sequence. No alarms; one guard; Vincent killing the power on the 16th floor when his victim most likely has no reason to be nervous, and when *he's* the one feeling his way through an unfamiliar environment
Vincent had already been to that building (beginning of the movie, he was familiar with the floor) and he had a pass to get through the turnstile (no alarms). IMO, the reason he cut the power was because he didn't want security cameras or people in other buildings see him shoot his victim (only a few lights were on in the building so it would be noticeable to anyone watching from outside).

The viewer shouldn't have to go back and watch it again to catch something so key, especially when missing it renders the action ridiculous.
I prefer subtlety in a film.
