* DarkerAndEdgier: Noticeably one of the darker entries of Creator/GuyRitchie's filmography, with a constant undercurrent of brutality. While the WorldOfSnark and SnarkToSnarkCombat that's a trademark of his SignatureStyle is littered throughout the movie, little of it is PlayedForLaughs like it usually would. Hill is a [[AntiHero Nominal Anti Hero]] at best and almost [[spoiler:every character winds up dead by the movie's end.]]

Added DiffLines:

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: All Heargraves had to do was tell his teenaged son to wait fifteen minutes while he drives around the corner to do something real quick. That is ''literally'' all he had to do to have prevented his son's murder. There was no reason to bring his son along even if he assumed nothing would go wrong when all it would've taken was an extra fifteen minutes. At least then only ''he'' would've gotten shot, and maybe not at all since he only gets shot trying to run towards his son.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Heargraves should have simply told his teen son to wait for him for fifteen minutes while he checked things out. That's all he had to do to avoid the murder of his own son, and yet...

* AnachronicOrder: After a chaotic prologue that depicts an armored truck robbery from [[LeaveTheCameraRunning a solitary camera]], the story jumps into H joining Fortico and his interactions with the rest of the crew. He fends off an attempted robbery with lethal skills at the end of the first act, and the second act then jumps back several months to explain H's motivations, eventually doing OnceMoreWithClarity to show what he was really doing at Fortico. Then halfway through the second act it jumps back over a year to explain the story of the criminals H is looking for, which then reveals the full details of the truck robbery in the opening scene. The third act is when everything comes together. The movie comes with chapter-based title cards to help keep the audience aware of the shifts.
