* AngryBlackMan: Andrew, though it's a given considering the actor who plays him, but in this cases, he's more subdued, though he does have his moments. When he first meets Amos, he believes he's an assassin sent to kill him after writing about his views on "White America". Though by the end of the film, he gets less angry and [[FireForgedFriends thinks of Amos as a friend.]]

Added DiffLines:
* AnAesop: This film makes points about racism that apply both to white and black people, with whites shouldn't assume blacks are always doing something illegal and blacks shouldn't feel oppressed just because things don't go their way.

The film centers around African-American playwright Andrew Sterling (Jackson), who buys a vacation house on an otherwise all-white island. When the neighbors see him setting up his stereo system and mistakenly assume he's stealing it, they call the cops, who (non-lethally) open fire when he walks out to shut off his car alarm just as they arrive. Realizing their mistake, Police Chief Cecil Tolliver (Creator/DabneyColeman) plans a cover-up over this embarrassing snafu by employing prisoner Amos Odell (Cage) to pretend he's taken Sterling hostage.
