Fridge Horror: Even if Luke does ever wake up from his coma, who's to say that he won't just commit suicide anyway after hearing that his entire family's dead?
Kelly Preston's character getting killed by a gunshot wound to the chest in this film is now harder to watch following her untimely passing in 2020 of breast cancer.
Similarly, Kelly Preston plays a mother who loses her teenage son and her own son Jett would die of a seizure just over a year after the film was released.
Moral Event Horizon: Billy and his gang of killers crosses this when one of their members kills Nick's son, Brendan, during a gang initiation dressed up as a gas-station holdup. And if that wasn't enough, they raid Nick's house later on in the film, with the leader himself fatally shooting Helen, the former's wife.
Narm: The cartoonish violence of the climax can really undercut all the dramatic stakes the movie had built up to that point.
Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: On the one hand, Nick wants to protect his wife and remaining son from Billy and his gang of killers. On the other hand, he made himself out to be a Revenge Before Reason-invoker. Therefore, it can be hard to root for him.
Unintentionally Unsympathetic: For some, it's hard to sympathize with Nick by the end of the movie, considering that it's his fault that he put his family in danger in the first place. Which is the message of the movie: Vigilantism isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Complete Monster: David "Monty" Montgomery is a depraved, egotistical comedian already guilty of serial rape and abuse who becomes far worse after the incurable G+ virus grants him hypnosis and telekinesis. Deciding to spend his last few months engrossing himself, Monty uses his powers to rape and murder the Queen of England before brutally killing the Royal Family and the Prime Minister in rapid succession, forcing a battalion of hundreds of soldiers to kill themselves and taking over England. Monty proceeds to use his influence to turn England into his own personal pit of debauchery, influencing millions into unimaginable depravity while raping countless women and slaughtering entire crowds more simply for annoying him, even murder over one million innocent people—children not spared—in one fell swoop to extend his influence past England. When confronted by an armada, Monty hypnotizes the captain to rape one of his own men before making the entire armada kill itself, and even after all of the carnage and millions hypnotized or killed by him, Monty confesses he isn't satisfied. Nothing more than a degenerate sadist in the end, Monty represents a picture of what a psychopath with no other resources might become with the powers to exercise whatever they might have wanted.
Funny Moments: Since G+ abilities are linked to creativity, Verity and Weasel are at one point pumped full of psychotropic drugs in order to see how it will affect their powers. Hilarity Ensues.
Heartwarming Moments: For all that Weasel is a selfish fuck-up, he genuinely loves his son.
Inferred Holocaust: It's mentioned at one point that by the time Verity and Weasel reach London, Monty has murdered over three million people. And by the end, central London has been nuked to hell in order to wipe Monty completely out of existence.
