* TerroristsWithoutACause: Owen Davian is an ''arms dealer'' without a cause. The man provides weapons to anybody who pays him, without caring what the weapons are for or how horrifying they are. He never even raises his voice, let alone tells any reasons he may have to be such a monster.
Added DiffLines:
* TortureIsIneffective: Played two different ways.
** First, Ethan interrogates Davian his team has abducted on the nature of the film's MacGuffin (a canister of Plot-oleum called "the Rabbit's Foot"). When talking doesn't work and Davian threatens Ethan's relatives (successfully guessing that Ethan is now married), Ethan tries a HighAltitudeInterrogation by hanging him out the bottom of their transport plane and slowly cutting the cable ties holding him to his seat. He still doesn't talk, and worse, learns Ethan's identity from Luther shouting WhatTheHellHero.
** Second, after Davian captures Ethan, he holds his previously kidnapped wife at gunpoint, telling Ethan he didn't bring him the real Rabbit's Foot [[HostageForMacGuffin in exchange for Julia's release]] and demanding to know what happened to the real one. Ethan truthfully insists he ''did'' bring them the real one but Davian counts to ten and shoots Julia in the head anyway. [[spoiler:Then Musgrave walks in the room and rips a latex mask off the dead woman, who turns out to be Davian's former security chief. Davian was just killing two birds with one stone, assuring himself that Ethan had upheld his end and administering a YouHaveFailedMe in the bargain.]]

* NothingIsScarier: An interesting example with the 'Rabbit's Foot' that is the focus of the movie. It's debated about what it might be (primarily by Benji), and when it is retrieved it is rather clearly marked with a Biohazard sign along the side of its container...but the movie never goes into its specific purpose or effects. If anything, that uncertainty coupled with the degree to which Davian wants it makes it all the more scary.
