* InsideJob: The entire plot revolves around a bank robbery where the would-be robbers have to convince Chris, a young brain-damaged guy who works there as the janitor, to cooperate with them. They do this through a combination of the promise of financial reward, painting it as something daring to do to get out of his currently crappy life, and some feigned romantic interest from their pretty female accomplice.

!!The film contains examples of:
* BankRobbery
* BigFancyHouse: Chris's parents' house is huge and denotes their sizable wealth.
* BlindSeer: Jeff Daniels' character, Lewis, is probably the smartest character in the movie and has seemed to have learned a lot from becoming blind after a meth accident.
* ChekhovsGun:
** The card in Chris's wallet that explains his condition allows him to get away from a cop pulling him over while Chris has the money from the robbery in his trunk.
** Also the literal shotgun from his parents' house.
** "Just start at the end and work backwards."
* ChekhovsHobby: Chris used to go hunting with his family.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The DVD case promises "a twist you can't believe". [[spoiler: The movie itself is fairly straightforward. Why this was added is anyone's guess... probably trying to [[FollowTheLeader cash in on]] the similarities between the main characters of this film and Film/{{Memento}}.]]
* CrapsackWorld: To try to convince Chris to join him, Spargo points out how much of Chris's life is this trope now-- His rich family have given up on him. He cannot get a good job. His boss treats him like crap. He cannot get a girlfriend. [[spoiler: Although the ending showed that it wasn't as Spargo tried to paint it for Chris.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding
* HeyItsThatGuy: [[JosephGordonLevitt That kid]] from ''ThirdRockFromTheSun'' is all grown up.
* HoneyTrap: [[IslaFisher Luvlee]]
* HostageForMcGuffin: Trading Lewis for the money at the end.
* ISurrenderSuckers: Chris using his gun he had hidden in the bag.
* KeyUnderTheDoormat: Actually it's in his shoe, but close enough.
* MemoryGambit: Chris may or may not have forgotten where he hid the money.
* NoteToSelf: Chris takes his little notebook everywhere with him.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: Well, sort of invoked. Because while Spargo and gang were correct about Chris being brain damaged, they were wrong to think that he was unable or unwilling to fight back because of it. Chris may or may not be using this to his advantage.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Subverted. Even though Spargo comments that the bullet he took from the robbery 'went right through', his health gets progressively worse until the climax.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Before the events of the movie, Chris was this, driving with the lights off in a unlit highway.
* SlidingScaleOfLawEnforcement: The sheriff's deputy is on the very positive end of this scale, delivering donuts to Chris and being a [[BadassNormal badass]] when the situation turns grim.
