** Chris being portrayed throughout the movie as motivated by keeping others alive suddenly decides to take a time-out from this duty to make a phone call when his comrades need him the most.
** The Butcher is so cartoonishly evil that he just gets hard to take seriously after a while. And he was made up for the film, so there's not even that justification.
** Some of Sienna Miller's dialogue sounds a little too [[OscarBait Oscar-hungry]]. One line even rhymes:
--->'''Taya Renae Kyle:''' If you think that this war isn't changing you, you're wrong. You can only circle the flames so long.
