NME reports that Cliff Martinez's song 'Wanna Fight', which was included on the soundtrack to the 2013 film Only God Forgives, has been gathering attention across social media after popular Twitter account @FilmCritHulk pointed out the similarities between the track and Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's Netflix theme.
