* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Some people most likely remember the film for Creator/AmandaSeyfried and Creator/OliviaWilde's nude scenes. Creator/AmberHeard goes nude too, although her reputation has soured considerably.

* NightmareFuel: The eventual murder of Zach is rather horrifying, especially with Elvis's full switch to LackOfEmpathy as he shoots Zach after he's been smacked with the shovel.

Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut, going to see if these examples fit An Aesop.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The gangster lifestyle portrayed in the movie is for idiots and useless fuck-ups, and is populated by people who'll burn you at the first sign of trouble.

Actor mortality does not count under Hindsight. Left a notifier because it's the second time the trope is misued.


* HarsherInHindsight: Zach's death is hard enough to watch already knowing it was based on a real incident, but it became even more tragic with the news of his actor Creator/AntonYelchin dying relatively young ([[CruelAndUnusualDeath and in such a cruel way]]) in 2016.

* TearJerker: The climax pretty much tears apart the entire gang and the more sympathetic members look devastated by the end of it. That's not even getting started on Zach in his final moments...

* CreepyAwesome: Jake Mazursky. [[AxCrazy Calling the guy unstable is a massive understatement]], and there's also the fact he might legitimately be a Neo-Nazi ([[BoomerangBigot in spite of also being of Jewish descent]]), but thanks to Creator/BenFoster's chilling performance and the scene of him [[OneManArmy beating the ever-loving shit out of an entire room of people]], he's become a bit of a LoveToHate fan-favorite character amongst audience members.

Badly shoehorned-in hindsight example, cut

** Any future kidnappings of teenagers makes this a pretty hard movie to watch.
** [[spoiler: Zack's death scene becomes much harder to watch after Creator/AntonYelchin's premature death on June 19, 2016.]]
