* ForTheEvulz: Ize speculates this about the sniper.
* GenreSavvy: Ize doesn't immediately trust a voice in the radio asking him a lot of information, keeping an ear out for any inconsistencies and challenging the man for proof of his identity. [[spoiler: Sure enough, it was the sniper]].
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Ize is the spotter of the soldiers, but he's been in the Middle East for a long time, under multiple snipers. He is the one to notice all of the headshots, speculate on the presence of a sniper and caution Shane about being too reckless after they first arrive. In contrast, Shane is too impatient to wait for ideal conditions to go up close, dismissive of the idea of a sniper, and stands up at a time when Ize tells him to stay down.

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: A wounded Shane yells for Ize to leave him, after he's wounded and Ize is racing to help him rather than go for cover.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Shane is believed to have died from his wound relatively early in the film, but was only passed out, and wakes up near the final act. He is shot again and killed later, although the rescuers do bother putting him on the helicopter too]].

* SniperDuel: The two struggle with their limited resources to figure out where the sniper is so they can fight back. For most of the film, Ize is avoiding the sniper but not shooting back, but eventually [[spoiler: Shane recovers enough to get at his gun and fire several shots at the sniper, although he misses and is hit in the shoulder and incapacitated by the man's next shot]]. and afterwards [[spoiler: Ize only takes one shot (he only has one) when he finally takes up the rifle)]].

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: [[spoiler: Subverted. the sniper spends a while posing as one though]].

* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: Ize admits that fear of experiencing this from Dean's family is part of why he re-enlisted.

* CoolShades: Being snipers in the middle of a desert, Ize and Shane both wear some, although they lose them early on and are actually have more impressive moments without them.
