* The Battle of Bexhill is a chillingly realistic recreation of a warzone, as ActionSurvivor Theo attempts to rescue Kay and her baby while dodging the attacks of both the Refugees and British Army (including a tank) by hiding in cars and behind corners, all filmed in one take.

Theo, Marichka, and Kee desperately squeeze through the door frame while Syd reloads his pistol, shouting obscenities at them from across the other side of the hallway they're in. The look of sheer terror on Theo's face as he looks back at Syd taking aim really sells how tense the whole situation is.]]

* The scene where the bus is pulling into the Bexhill Refugee Camp. The antics in the prison area are deliberately and viscerally reminiscent of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse incidents, with prisoners being sworn at, stripped down, beaten, threatened with attack dogs, and sexually humiliated by sadistic guards running riot while [[TheLibertines The Libertines']] 'Arbeit Macht Frei' plays in the background. To those who are aware of the full extent of the abuse at Abu Ghraib and Camp X-ray, the fate that awaits Miriam is all the more horrifying.

** In the background of the shot, just before the explosion, a couple greets one another and embraces on the sidewalk just by the shop entrance, much closer than Theo is. One second later, both of them are knocked to the ground by the blast. Just the total and utter MoodWhiplash that they must have gone through, even more so than the audience.
