* SuicidalOverconfidence : Wetzler appears to be neurologically incapable of not being overly confident all the time. What does he do when Travis breaks into his office after killing dozens of his men? Walk as calmly and slowly as possible to the door, as if Travis is really going to let him live after all he's done! The most absurd thing about it all is that he could possibly have escaped Travis if he had just run full speed to the door while Travis was busy fighting one of the guards.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The film's trailer flat out lies about what the story is. Namely, it makes it look like Conrad has been poisoned, and has twenty four hours to eliminate his target or he will die. The story is nothing like that.

!!This film contains examples of:
* BigBad: Wetzler, the CorruptCorporateExecutive who resurrected Conrad.
* DisposingOfABody: A particularly nightmarish scene has Zera testifying before the UN about him and a bunch of other Red Mountain employees finding ''70'' bodies left after the resurrection experiments, dumping them in a mass grave, and burning them.
* DoomedProtagonist: Travis Conrad has exactly 24 hours to live, due to undergoing a resurrection procedure. Once that 24 hours ends, he will die permanently. [[spoiler:He does, but is resurrected at the very end of the film.]]
* EventTitle
* EvilFormerFriend: Tim Morrow, Wetzler's {{Dragon}}, used to be Conrad's best friend, and is broken up over having to try and kill him.
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Conrad became a hitman after his discharge from the US military.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Travis Conrad starts off as a freelance assassin, but turns on his bosses when he's resurrected.
** [[spoiler:Tim Morrow, Wetzler's chief gun, spends the whole film conflicted and ultimately ends up taking Conrad's side, even getting to kill his former boss himself.]]
* MegaCorp: The main antagonists are Red Mountain, a military company that does unethical experiments to resurrect people for profit.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Red Mountain kidnaps 70 civilians-man, woman or child-and experiments on them to create a resurrection process. All of them die. The experiments are even directly compared to Josef Mengele's.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: A hitman goes after his employers when they resurrect him and decide to kill him again.
* TheStoolPigeon: Conrad's initial foray into the plot is when he's hired to kill a Red Mountain employee turned whistleblower after he has to dispose of the bodies. [[spoiler:That guy's killed halfway through, so Conrad has to stop Red Mountain himself.]]
* VisionaryVillain: Metzler believes his resurrection process will "change the face of warfare." Played with in that that isn't his primary goal; he just wants a lot of money.
* YouAndWhatArmy: When Conrad goes to rescue Lin's son, the goons ask how he's gonna make them do anything when they're wildly outgunned, only for all the families of the people Red Mountain experimented on to come out as backup.
