Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: Even though he was willing to cut off Fahrad's finger on a whim in order to make a point at the beginning of the movie; Amir Asif seems to take a liking to the boy and more or less takes him under his wing; and his only moments in the film where he shows something that appears like personal affability is when he reminds him that he shouldn't take someone like Tyler lightly.

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted hard. The bulletproof vests the cops wear stop even the point-blank pistol shots from Tyler's Glock. He needs to hit them either in the limbs or [[BoomHeadshot face]], or find some other way to neutralize them (in one case by throwing them off a railing). The body armor the regular soldiers wear is realistically less effective against the heavier calibre of Tyler's assault rifle.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The elderly Colonel easily kills several RedShirts as well as [[spoiler: Saju]] using just one sniper rifle, while previously the protagonists killed ''hundreds'' of his men. This raises a question - why didn't any other members of the Dhaka's police force (possibly younger and of lower rank) do the sniping, when it proved to be so effective?

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Asif has the son of a rival drug lord kidnapped in order to humiliate him. Rather than keep the boy in a secure location surrounded by armed guards (it eventually becomes clear he has the entire Dhaka police department on his payroll) Asif decides to keep him tied up inside a slummy apartment building guarded only by a handful of untrained and incompetent gangsters, including children. This only makes it much easier for a trained professional like Tyler to kill the guards and rescue Ovi under the pretense of paying the ransom.

Then, in the climax of the film, he was overwhelmed by Asif's forces and was shot to death. Presumably. He didn't even get the chance to kill the film's main villain.
