!!Tropes present in this film:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Troy acts like a nice enough fellow. He shares a beer with John and has a friendly conversation with him, and claims not to judge him for his illicit activities. In secret, he’s actually a criminal so desperate for money he’ll kidnap people from wealthy families and hold them for ransom [[spoiler:and considers raping Rosie.]]
* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:Officer Burns turns out to be working with Troy and his sons.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:John kills Troy and leaves the town of Cutter with Rosie to live a normal life, with his uncle dead and unable to chase him.]]
* EnemyMine: Neil catches up with John when he discovers his plans to skip town, and is prepared to kill him and Rosie until John tells him about the immediate threat Troy poses. He promptly starts trying to drive away with them.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, Troy genuinely loves his sons, [[spoiler:and is livid when he finds Cooper’s body in the pit of rabbit corpses.]]
* EvilUncle: John’s uncle, Neil, runs a drug ring and refuses to let his nephew out of the business. When he learns of his plans to skip town, he tries to kill him.
* {{Expy}}: John — played by Josh Stewart — is a sympathetic criminal played by Josh Stewart trying to keep his loved one happy while facing problems from his not-so-sympathetic employers and a masked man. Sounds a lot like [[Film/TheCollector Arkin]].
* KickTheDog: Troy claims to be against resorting to murder when it’s unnecessary. However, he sees no issue with [[spoiler:planning to rape and kill Rosie, seeing it as being little more than "taking out the trash". There doesn’t seem to be much reason behind this decision except to firmly establish him as the bad guy.]]
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Troy and his sons wear papier-mâché masks made of newspaper clippings to cover their faces so their captives don’t see them.
* TheSavageSouth: It’s set in [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Cutter]], Mississippi, home to drug dealers and masked madmen.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/TheCollector''. Both films are directed by Marcus Dunstan and feature Josh Stewart in the lead role as a reluctant criminal trying to help out his loved one who runs into trouble in the form of his employers and of a masked psycho who holds people captive.
