* DropTheHammer: Joe uses a ball peen hammer as his weapon. In flashbacks, it's revealed that his father also used this weapon to abuse him and his mother.



* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/TaxiDriver''. Both movies revolve around a ShellShockedVeteran who works as a brutal vigilante to cope with their mental illnesses. They also work in a [[BigRottenApple rather corrupt version of New York City]] and end up rescuing a young girl from sexual slavery.



* ViolenceIsDisturbing: ''Incredibly''. Most of the violence [[GoryDiscretionShot is offscreen]], instead showing the psychological and/or graphic consequences resulting from such actions, particularly in the form of Joe's PTSD. However, when the violence is shown, it's portrayed in raw, amateur detail as if captured from real surveillance footage, such as Joe's attack on the child brothel to rescue Nina.
