* CompleteMonster: Bill Cox is an intrepid thug who comes off as sophisticated and smooth-talking, but it's a façade that hides his [[FauxAffablyEvil truly cold, brutal and sadistic nature]]. Cox and his men take Jack Stanfield's family hostage in their own home as a means of forcing Jack to help rob the bank that he works at. Cox reveals himself by [[EvilGloating taunting Jack about his abducted daughter]]. He uses a "[[YouHaveFailedMe too many mistakes]]" excuse to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill one of his own men]]; tricks Jack's son Andy (who has a peanut allergy) into [[WouldHurtAChild eating a cookie with peanuts]] and ruthlessly withholds his [=EpiPen=] to further force Jack's cooperation; kills Jack's friend Harry to make Jack look culpable and even more guilty in the robbery; intends to kill the family anyway after saying earlier that he'd let them all live (there are already freshly-dug graves at the hideout); and kills his man who is the only one sympathetic to the family when he sticks up for them. Finally, in a final act of spite, he [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fights, beats, and nearly succeeds in killing Jack]].

* ClicheStorm: An unsurprisingly common complaint from most reviews is that the film is ''very'' predictable and that it continues to use Hollywood tactics that really offer nothing new to action, crime, and yuppie thriller films. The movie is also considered more or less an excuse to see Creator/HarrisonFord be a badass once again by taking out the bad guys.

And this also before he kills Harry as part of his plan and Vel for turning aganst him as well.
