* AddledAddict: Jay is frequently seen [[TheAlcoholic drinking]] and taking pills (implied to be painkillers) throughout the film. This seem to be a contributing factor to his frayed mental health.



* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: It's initially implied that some of the weirder events in the plot might be symptomatic of Jay suffering from PTSD (such as, for example, a bizarre sequence in which he looks out his hotel window and sees Fiona standing there, waving at him). By the end of the film, it looks a lot more like the events depicted are really happening.

* DeadlyHazing: The ending reveals that the entire "kill list" was [[spoiler:actually an InitiationCeremony for Jay and the pagan cult that's been stalking him. As a hitman, he easily dispatches the list members but then has to DuelToTheDeath with "the hunchback", who is revealed to be his kidnapped wife and son, Shel and Sammy. Upon killing them, he's crowned by the cult...though it's not answered as to what or who he is to them.]]
