| 1 | %%Do not add any Complete Monster examples without taking |
| 2 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: The overlooked 2012 film is best remembered by some viewers for its threesome scene with Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Lado. Even most people who didn't like the movie itself have highly praised Creator/BenicioDelToro's performance as the monstrous, but so very entertaining psychopath, labelling him as arguably being THE most interesting and engaging character. Elena and Dennis have gotten a decent amount of praise too, even if it hasn't been nearly as unanimous as with Lado. |
| 4 | * HamAndCheese: Creator/BenicioDelToro seems to be having the time of his life playing Lado. Creator/SalmaHayek and Demian Bichir also enter LargeHam territory quite a bit. |
| 5 | * HarsherInHindsight: John Travolta plays a man losing his wife to cancer. Travolta's own wife, Kelly Preston, would later pass away in 2020 after a two-year struggle with cancer. |
| 6 | * {{Narm}}: "I have orgasms. He has [[{{Pun}} war-gasms]]." Yes, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer that is an actual line in the movie.]] |
| 7 | * NightmareFuel: |
| 8 | ** The very first scene in a movie is a line of men being prepared for execution by the cartel. Then you hear a chainsaw starting up, and the scene cuts to black, though you can still hear the screaming. Later, footage of [[{{Gorn}} the incredibly nasty aftermath]] is sent to Ben and Chon, setting off the movie. |
| 9 | ** [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Alex's death]]. He's whipped and tortured until [[EyeScream his eye is left dangling out of its socket]], forced into a tire, doused in gasoline, then set alight. |
| 10 | * TheScrappy: The protagonists have all gotten at least a little bit of flack, but O easily gets the most among most people for various reasons. Some have complained that her narrative segments are grating, if not unbearable, others think that she's too bland and one-dimensional to be the character that drives the plot and connects all of the others, and there are some who can't stand her annoying demands for getting better food and accomodations from her kidnappers when she should feel grateful to even be alive in the first place (this ''is'' the Mexican Drug Cartel after all, not a group that's well-known for their hospitality). |
| 11 | * SpiritualSuccessor: The film at times comes across as a loose remake of ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid'', which is even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the main trio. |
| 12 | * {{Squick}}: Ophelia [[SpitefulSpit spitefully spits]] in Lado's face at one point. His reaction is to ''lick it up.'' |
