* JerkassHasAPoint: The CIA coldly decides not to pursue the people who ordered the killings of Kelly's wife and teammates because they fear that senior Russian officials are involved and any retaliation against them could cause a war between the US and Russia. Kelly and Greer find this action cowardly and dishonorable and go rogue in order to pursue justice/revenge. However, the CIA is correct in their assessment and Kelly spends the climax of the movie desperately trying to cover up the presence of US soldiers on Russian soil because the revelation could provoke a war betwen US and Russia.



* SniperDuel: There is one of these in the climax.

to:

* SniperDuel: There PlausibleDeniability: Lampshaded by Kelly when he realizes that the actions of the US team could provoke a war between the US and Russia. His teammates are serving members of the US military and their presence on Russian soil would be seen as an act of war against Russia. They cannot be captured or their bodies found in an identifiable state. On the other hand, Kelly is officially a rogue operator who escped from prison while awaiting trial for murder. If the Russians catch him or are able to identify his body, the US government can deny any involvement and claim that Kelly was on a personal vendetta. This means that Kelly is the only one of these in who can engage the climax.Russian police and has to create a distraction big enough that his teammates can get away without being identified.

* BloodlessCarnage: Surprisingly for an R-rated movie. Aside from a small amount seen when John and his wife are shot, all the violence is devoid of blood.


Added DiffLines:

* RatedMForManly: There is no blood, swearing, sex or substance abuse to speak of in this R rated actioner. But you have a bona-fide badass AntiHero who will violate regulations to assault and torture a Russian delagate out in the open, fire upon Russian police to provide cover for his men, and beat the ever living crap out of several armored gaurds who have detained him wearing only prison pants; which isnt very common in many PG-13 heroes.
