* DangerousDeserter: Sort of. The Courier is a deserter from an unspecified military after she saw her brother die in a classified op in Syria. That said, her being dangerous isn't tied to any fear of being arrested for desertion in the heat.

* {{Unperson}}: The Courier. It likely stems from her past as a soldier specializing in "deniable ops". If she doesn't exist, her country, whatever that was, couldn't be blamed for anything she was doing if she got caught.

* DieHardOnAnX: Die Hard in a parking garage.
* DirtyCop: Simmonds and Bryant.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Most of the movie takes place over the course of an hour - practically real time.
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: For all of the crimes that Mannings has committed, the police can only firmly tie him to a single count of murder, and that case hinges on a single witness. Most of the movie is his people's efforts to silence that witness, and the Courier's efforts to get herself and the witness clear.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Mannings chafes at being subjected to house arrest, but it's in his luxury penthouse, with nobody restricting or monitoring his calls, allowing him to coordinate the attempts to kill the witness from the other side of the Atlantic.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: For the villains. Interpol sends reinforcements to secure the site of the witness' murder when Bryant reports it preemptively, giving him one hour to kill the witness and make the scene match his report before his cover is blown.
* TheScapegoat: The original plan to kill the witness was that the secure video uplink the Courier was sent to deliver so the witness could testify in New York from London had a gas bomb in it, allowing Simmonds to claim that the Courier was Mannings' assassin, who she would then kill.
