* ICanChangeMyBeloved: Deconstructed. Hannah remained in an abusive relationship for years because she was convinced of this trope, blaming herself because her love wasn't enough to change him. It took her a long time to realize that [[AffablyEvil he was simply evil and what she saw as the good in him was just a facade]].

!Tropes for the film:
* CharacterTitle: '''Lou'''.
* DeadlyHug: Played with. The titular character is fighting in the surf with her estranged and insane son, only to end up hugging him. While doing so she sees the CIA BlackHelicopter she's deliberately drawn there flying towards them, and apologizes before it riddles them both with bullets. Lou's wearing a BulletproofVest so she uses this to fake her death.
* DoorHandleScare: Realizing there's an intruder in the house, Vee hides in her room and watches in terror as the deadbolt lock drops out of the door and a tube is pushed through the hole, spraying knockout gas inside.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: Played straight when Lou, a middle-aged female ex-CIA agent, uses this trope to approach a couple of ex-Green Beret associates of the villain and kill them.
* KnockoutGas: The kidnapper removes the doorknob and inserts a tube that sprays halothane into the child's bedroom.
* OneWordTitle: '''Lou'''.
* SleepingDummy: Lou sees Philip is supposedly wrapped in a sleeping bag next to the little girl he kidnapped. Although she has the chance to snipe him from a distance, she chooses to try sneaking up to him and gets captured because the sleeping bag is a dummy. The WhyDontYouJustShootHim moment foreshadows TheReveal that Philip is Lou's estranged son.
