!Tropes
* AffablyEvil: The crew of the Money Plane are perfectly civil and professional, despite running a business that kills people for amusement.
* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:The last we see of Grouch, he is emptying a machine gun at a team of assassins coming at him]].
* CaperCrew:
** Jack is TheLeader of the group and does a lot of field work.
** [[ActionGirl Isabella]] (Katrina Norman) seems to be the muscle of the group, being the most involved in the field besides Jack, who spends most of the Money Plane heist in the cockpit.
** Trey (Patrick Lamont Jr.) is the tech-savvy team member, serving as a hacker.
** Iggy (Andrew Lawrence) is mostly seen doing heavy lifting and acting as the getaway driver during the museum heist. He takes the role as the guy on the ground during the Money Plane heist since Trey is needed on the plane.
** Jack's old friend Harry (Thomas Jane) joins the crew as a backup guy on the ground.
* TheCasino: The Money Plane is a flying casino with both more standard games like Texas Hold 'Em and more illegal bets like betting on people's deaths and playing RussianRoulette.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Grouch is the CEO of some big company called [=RumbleCorp=].
* {{Cowboy}}: J.R. Crockett (Matthew Lawrence) is an arms dealer from Texas with an exaggerated cowboy personality; he is even just credited as "The Cowboy" in the credits.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: Jack's cover identity is that of a human trafficker named Monroe, who somehow did all of his work digitally, meaning nobody knows that he looks like. Except for Isabella, who killed him months ago.
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:J.R. Crockett dies playing Russian Roulette, having won several times in the past, right after bragging about how he can't lose]].
* DragonLady: One of the plane passengers, Mia Yamada, is some sort of crime lord and of East-Asian descent.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: [[spoiler:Jack secretly records a conversation he has with Grouch in which he angrily talks about the heist and identifies himself by name, sending the Money Plane's people onto him]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a criminal organization, the people in charge of the Money Plane have strict rules against cheating, even killing a man on the spot when he cheated during a card game. They also make it clear that the flight attendants are off limits for passengers.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Jack spends most of the movie with his long hair tied up in a man bun. At the end of the movie, after [[spoiler:Grouch is dead, his debt is settled and he will have enough money to retire]], he has his hair out.
* FailureGambit: [[spoiler:Harry's research reveals that Grouch already owned the painting he got Jack and his team to steal and apparently tipped off the museum about the plan, ensuring that they would fail]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: Grouch acts friendly and sophisticated, but mostly speaks in a smug, threatening tone.
* HistoricalRapSheet: One of the arms dealers on the plane, Ivan Vitali, is said to have been the one who sold Iran the materials that made them nuclear capable.
* {{Hypocrite}}: When one of the passengers, Reid, harasses Isabella, Jack, who is posing as a human trafficker, tells him off. Vitali points out how odd it is for him to take issue with it considering how many people he must have sold into sexual slavery in his line of work.
* TheInfiltration: Jack and Trey go undercover as criminals on the Money Plane.
* LargeHam:
** Darius Grouch, whenever he gets loud and threatening.
** J.R. Crockett really hams it up with his cowboy personality.
* MyGreatestFailure: Jack's current predicament comes from a five years ago when he bet too much on a single hand and lost; [[NoMoreForMe he's never gambled since]].
* NoNameGiven: The concierge (Joey Lawrence) and bookkeeper (Creator/AlSapienza) are never named in the movie.
* OneLastJob: The museum heist was supposed to be this for Jack, meant to pay off his debt, but when it fails the Money Plane heist becomes his ''last'' last job.
* ParentalHypocrisy: When Jack reads ''Robin Hood'' to his daughter and she asks if it's okay to steal from bad people, wanting to apply this to a situation with a friend she's been arguing with, Jack, the professional thief, instead talks her into a more peaceful solution.
* SmallNameBigEgo: [[spoiler:When taunting Grouch, Jack points out that despite his high thoughts of himself and what a badass he supposedly is, the plane is full of criminals much more dangerous than him]].
* StressVomit: After one too many deadly bets, Trey [[VomitDiscretionShot slips into a restroom]] and throws up.
* VillainousLineage: Vitale talks proudly of coming from a family of arms dealers, his father and grandfather having also been that.
