5
6* {{Amoral Attorney}}: Emmerich and Tom's boss.
7* {{Badass in a Nice Suit}}: The Killer is impeccably dressed, which is part of what makes his cover story as being with building maintenance so shaky.
8* {{Bad Liar}}: The Killer's excuse to Janine that he is a contractor with building maintenance.
9* {{Chronic Hero Syndrome}}: Tom finds a way out in a couple of occasions, but discovering the Killer is near someone he likes ([[spoiler:such as Janine]]), and this they will become collateral damage, means he has to go back and try to save them.
10* {{Crusading Lawyer}}: What Tom aspires to be - though he's a paralegal, not a lawyer.
11* DieHardOnAnX: For most of the film there are only two players (Tom and the Killer), but the rules remain the same: a deadly game of cat and mouse within a ClosedCircle (a law firm office this time), with the villain having the advantage of carrying a firearm and no scruples about committing murder.
12* {{Implacable Man}}: The Killer has shades of this - when he's locked out by the key card system, he matter-of-factly turns and finds a fire axe to chop down the door and continue chasing Tom.
