| 1 | Pretty much the entire movie counts as this, with a large dosage of NightmareFuel, on a count of it being a slow and painful exploration of a day in the life of a man stricken with post-traumatic stress disorder. However, some notable moments include: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | '''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.''' |
| 4 | ---- |
| 5 | * The scenes of Joe casually contemplating suicide through harmful gestures such as sticking a knife in his mouth, dropping it on the floor and barely dodging it before the blade can cut his foot, and him suffocating himself with a plastic bag. Also counts as [[NightmareFuel Nightmare]] and ParanoiaFuel. |
| 6 | * Joe's flashbacks including his time in the military, where he watched an innocent child get shot [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished just as soon as he offers him a candy bar]], his time in the FBI, where he discovers an entire cargo crate full of ''dead teenage girls'', and the abuse he received at the hands of [[AbusiveDad his father]]. Definite NightmareFuel as well. |
| 7 | * Moments after rescuing Nina, the poor girl has a small breakdown and hugs Joe, who does his best to comfort her and reassure her everything is okay. Sadly everything is '''not'''. |
| 8 | * The way Angel and his young son look at each other as they are interrogated by hitmen preparing to kill them. |
| 9 | * Joe discovering his mother's dead body. Even after he's killed the guards who've killed her, all he can do is lay beside one of the dying hitmen and [[HeroicBSOD contemplate every horrible thing that's been happening]]. |
| 10 | * The underwater burial of Joe's mom, which nearly culminates in another suicide attempt by Joe in which he nearly drowns himself. However, it becomes a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment and SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when he sees a vision of Nina and [[HeroicSecondWind gets the motivation to go rescue her]]. |
| 11 | * Joe's breakdown in the midst of rescuing Nina for the second time. It's at this moment that we realize [[NotSoStoic his stoicism has its limits.]] |
