!Tropes for the film:
* AssShove: Cliff Hardy is given a TrackingDevice by police and told to turn it on when the villains have made contact. To forestall the ObligatoryJoke on where to hide it, the detective adds, "If you stick it up your ass, you won't be able to flick the switch!" It's left deliberately vague if Hardy really did hide the transmitter this way.
* BleakAbyssRetirementHome: Cliff stumbles across a NightmareFuel version, where the residents are locked in their rooms so their pensions can be collected and spent by the criminal running the place, who disposes of their bodies via an incinerator in the basement when they die of starvation and neglect.
* FakingTheDead: Cliff is hired by the wife of the a businessman who's disappeared, apparently after some criminal associates gave him CementShoes. However, Hardy's investigation makes the criminals believe this trope is in play, and they start to turn on each other, [[FemmeFatale which was her intention all along]]. At the end of the movie, she reveals that her husband really is alive and living overseas, and offers to hire Hardy to find him for real. Annoyed over how he's been manipulated, Hardy just walks off.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: Based on Peter Corris' 1983 novel of the same name.
* {{Tagline}}: "Cliff Hardy - One man against Sydney's Underworld".
