History Film / GreenRoom

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Darcy and the group of neo-Nazis, [[CaptainObvious obviously]]. Darcy refers to the heroin [[spoiler: he gives to the house band Cow Catcher]] as "my dope, nigger stamps" and later [[spoiler: mentions that it is likely poisoned by saying "really gotta watch that nigger dope; bad batch doing the rounds."]]

* ActionSurvivor: The band are ''way'' out of their depth dealing with the Nazis, and realistically make many mistakes throughout the film, which [[spoiler: gets three of the four killed]].

* BadBoss: Darcy [[spoiler: verbally and at one point physically attacks Gabe for acting to protect Werm after he killed Emily "under [his] roof" suggesting that Gabe should have let him go to prison instead]] He also implies that [[spoiler: the drugs that he gave to the band to take and that, except for Werm, they are later shown to have taken is in fact poisoned [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness in an attempt to remove the band as a loose end]].]]

* ChekhovsGunman: Subverted. [[spoiler: The wounded dog that run away? No, it's not going to attack Pat and Amber for a DownerEnding. It just came back home and [[UndyingLoyalty lies next to its dead owner]], hurt itself and slowly dying]].

** [[spoiler: Pat]] as well, who, despite seeming flaky and unreliable ''and'' being the first band member to get wounded, [[spoiler: kills several of the Nazis, including Darcy, and survives the film]].

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler: Gabe ends up siding with Pat and Amber, as he has seen enough through last 12 hours and simply doesn't want to go to prison]].

* EliteMooks: The Red Laces, who are basically the soldiers of the Nazi gang.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In an interview, Reece mentions that he doesn't expect to live until he's seventy. [[spoiler:He's absolutely right]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Werm, who did the murder that kicked everything off, is last seen safe and sound watching television while his bandmates get high on heroin. Although the heroin was tainted, he apparently didn't take a shot himself]].

** [[spoiler: Daniel switches sides and helps the protagonists, and it's revealed that he was planning on leaving from the beginning and is holding incriminating evidence against Darcy and the skinheads]].

* ObliviousJanitorCut: There is a cut-away to Gabe cleaning the club while Pat and Amber fight two mooks in the green room.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Darcy and the rest of the skinheads, obviously. Darcy refers to the heroin [[spoiler: he gives to the house band 'Cow Catcher']] as "my dope, nigger stamps" and later [[spoiler: mentions that it is likely poisoned by saying "really gotta watch that nigger dope; bad batch doing the rounds."]]

* TheSiege: The band, Amber, and one of the club's bouncers are trapped in the titular green room, trying to fight off the venue's owner and his neo-Nazi mooks on the other side of the door.

* SociopathicHero: [[spoiler: Arguably Amber. She's the most comfortable with killing of any of the protagonists, seemingly unfazed when unzipping Big Justin's stomach (whilst [[DecoyProtagonist Reece]] completely freaks out) with the box cutter and multiple other kills. She is also fine using the blood-soaked corpse of her friend to draw the fire of the skinhead with the shotgun in the bunker before killing him with a [[DoubleTap double tap]] on the skin shortly after whilst he's grappling with Pat. She is also the most comfortable dealing out multiple other gunshot and close combat kills throughout the second half of the movie; seemingly registering no emotional reaction besides determination]]
* ThisMeansWarpaint: Pat and Amber put on camouflage paint before their showdown with the two mooks.

* TooDumbToLive: Knowing that they're playing at a skinhead bar in the middle of nowhere, the band decides to open with an anti-Nazi song. [[AvertedTrope Thankfully]] the spectators are more annoyed and belligerent than violent and actually end up enjoying the set.

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Werm, the big, creepy leader of the club's resident band kicks everything off by murdering Emily. He's last seen eating noodles next to his unconscious band members. Amber wants to track him down, but hasn't by the film's end.]]
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: Pat's desert island band. He thinks of it in the end, but Amber doesn't want to hear it. It is heavily implied to be Creedence Clearwater Revival, as "Sinister Purpose" is the first song as the credits roll]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Darcy heavily implies that he has arranged for Werm and the rest of the house band Cow Catcher to poison themselves by giving them free drugs with 'nigger stamps' that has been poisoned. Seemingly confirmed when all but Werm are shown unconscious or dead with needles still in at least one of their arms at the end of the film]]

[[PunkRock Punk band]] the Ain't Rights are on tour, and it isn't going terribly well. When they're offered the chance to play a show at a venue near Portland OR, they jump at the chance to make enough money to get them back home. But after discovering that the club is owned by neo-Nazi UsefulNotes/{{Skinheads}}, they witness a murder, and the band is forced to fight for their lives.

* AttackAttackAttack: Pat recalls that this is how the band won a round of paintball against marines. [[spoiler: It inspires him and Amber to formulate a proactive plan, even if based on completely different principle]].

* BadGuyBar: Darcy's music venue — because, well, it's a white supremacist bar.

* BigBad: Darcy, the sadistic, neo-Nazi owner of the club- who is absolutely terrifying despite speaking softly and looking like a nice, glasses-wearing old man, due to being played by Creator/PatrickStewart.

* DareToBeBadass: Subverted. Pat attempts to give a pep talk about the time a friend of his single-handedly wiped out a team of ex-marines in paintball by [[LeeroyJenkins just outright charging them]]. Reece cuts him off. Later, at Amber's request, Pat finishes the story.

* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Gabe starts out seeming to be this to Darcy, but later turns out to be more of an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. Clark better fits the role]].

* PrecisionFStrike: "Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks, FUCK OFF!!!"

''Green Room'' is a 2016 horror thriller written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier (of ''Film/BlueRuin'' fame) and starring Creator/AntonYelchin, Imogen Poots and Creator/PatrickStewart.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: Reece, who at first doesn't seem any different from the other members of the band, turns out to be the most physically imposing and strongest among the protagonists. He's the most willing to handle a firearm and shows more proficiency than anyone else, including the bad guys, in a number of submission-grappling moves]].

* ChekhovsSkill: When Reece shoves tad into a door, Tiger says, "Ease up, Jiu-Jitsu!" Reece later uses his jiu-jitsu to put the bouncer in an armbar.

* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler: The entire setup in the basement against remaining two Red Laces, but most notable is Amber apparently jumping down. The skinhead fires his last shell, knee-capping her, throws the shotgun away and runs for the pistol, only to find that the body belongs to Emily and the gun has the magazine removed, while Amber smiles in his face from the top]].

* TwoDecadesBehind: The colour of braces and laces lost any meaning roughly by mid 80s, plus they had never really been a big deal in the first place.

* FeedbackRule: Downplayed. There is a slight feedback after Darcy announces the end of the "movement" party and steps away from the mike.

* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler: Fight dogs vs. microphone feedback. Dogs [[TruthInTelevision really]] hate that sound]].
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Justified as an actual plot point. The band can't be shot, since [[spoiler: that would make it hard to explain why they have gunshot wounds and blow the cover story about them being attacked by dogs while supposedly siphoning gas. But when three of them are already mauled by dogs, Pat is a free game to shoot]].

* DissonantSerenity: Just before leaving, Werm calmly compliments the Ain't Rights and asks the name of their penultimate song, explaining that was when he committed the murder.
