Derek made self-serving excuses on top of excuses to justify his actions, none of which his mother takes to heart, opting Mrs. Danforth to come clean about how she bought the presidency.

* ShowyInvincibleHero: Par for the course with an action movie written by Kury Wimmer (Doubly so when starring Jason Statham), Clay faces hardly anyone that could really be considered a real threat to him physically but keeps things from getting boring by dispatching them in inventive ways. [[spoiler:The only one who can fight him on even footing is his very last opponent, Lazarus, and even then, Clay still comes out on top after exploiting his handicap.]]

* TrickAndFollowPloy: After mutilating Garnet and killing his goons, Clay seemingly just leaves the man to writhe in a wagon. Garnet gets back to his SUV and starts driving away, calling Derek to tell him what happened. When he is stopped by a raised bridge, Clay shows up to finish the job and steal his phone, giving him a lead on Derek.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Clay notes that Eloise wasn't basically just the only person he ever knew who tries to take care of ''him''. She was a kind and aspiringly gentle soul whom only ever lived for the sake of helping others. Thus inspiring him to go to significant lengths to avenge her death.

* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: The whole story from start to finish lasts less than 48 hours. A ridiculous pace when you consider how long actual forensic and computer analysis can take during an investigation. Eloise's body isn't even in the ground by the time Clay has worked his way up the ladder driving through several states to do it.
