| 1 | * JerkassWoobie: |
| 2 | ** Sarah gives a heartbreaking justification for continuing to keep the money and to do even more wicked things, as she declares that her life is incredibly unsatisfying and she just wants something even moderately better for herself and her daughter. |
| 3 | ** Lou is an utter jerk and a deeply insecure man that resents Hank for being smarter and more well-off than he is. But he is in such debt he just wants the money to make his life better and the look of shock in his face as he realizes that Jacob betrayed him is heartbreaking. |
| 4 | * MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Hank crosses it when he smothers Dwight Stephanson, an innocent bystander, to death.]] |
| 5 | * RealismInducedHorror: Creator/SamRaimi is known for [[Film/TheEvilDead1981 directing]] [[Film/EvilDead2 horror]] [[Film/DragMeToHell movies]] filled to the brim with demonic creatures, gore, and over-the-top violence. This film however, features nothing supernatural or anything particularly gory. It's just a story of how four regular people spiral into depravity due to greed that’s entirely grounded in reality. This makes for a movie that is far more disturbing than any zombie, deadite, or whatever monster Raimi has ever thrown at us. |
| 6 | * TheWoobie: Poor Jacob leads such a pathetic life. He's in his 40's, marginally employed and he's never even kissed a girl, never mind married or dated. He is genuinely excited by the prospect of regaining the family farm and personally hopes he will be able to find a woman who would be with him, not even minding if she is a GoldDigger. After his role in the [[spoiler: murder of Dwight Stephenson]], Jacob becomes more of a JerkassWoobie. |
