* {{Brownface}}: When caucasian AngelinaJolie was cast as the mixed-race Marianne Pearl, many accused the filmmakers of race lifting, and some felt it akin to a {{blackface}} performance.

* WretchedHive: [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] of course, but despite attempts from the film to [[AvertedTrope avert]] this, Karachi can still come off as such a city.
