* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The movie is set in the near future where global warming has caused massive flooding and society comes out during the night to avoid the high temperatures during the day.
* ActorAllusion: [[Film/TheGreatestShowman Rebecca Ferguson singing to Hugh Jackman.]]
* BatmanGambit: Mae dropping one of her jade earrings on the street outside Bannister's office, knowing he would come looking for her despite leaving him behind without a word. [[spoiler:All this was to have him save the child of Elsa Carine, a client of his from earlier in the movie, who we find out later was having an affair with a big-shot land baron, Walter Sylvan. To wit: Mae showed up at Bannister's office for the final time and was knocking on the door when she was caught up to by Boothe, a DirtyCop who used to work with Saint Joe, a drug lord in New Orleans. She agreed to go quietly but surreptitiously dropped one of her trademark jade earrings on the street outside the office, knowing he would find it and renew his obsession with her. In an unrelated case, the prosecutor calls him and his partner, Watts, to get the memories of a gangster who worked with Saint Joe. In the suspect's memories, Bannister saw Mae, prompting him to follow her trail to New Orleans, and from there to catch up with Boothe, leading him to find the client's child, Freddie.]]
