* SpiritualAntithesis: Though both are directed by Americans and are obviously against terrorism, ''Mosul'' has been seen somewhat as an Antithesis to War On Terror movies featuring largely American casts as the movie emphasizes its focus on an Arabic speaking cast with the main characters being the Iraqis themselves that are bearing the brunt of the conflict's weight. Jasem's men don't have as many fancy equipment their American counterparts would have to fight terrorism, have to still engage in an uphill battle as their training still isn't on par with NATO standards and they are far more motivated to PayEvilUntoEvil given that ISIS isn't an ocean away from them, but rather occupying their cities and have committed crimes against the team and their families.

** Furthermore, the protagonist Kawa dons a mask just like that of ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'', with ''The Punisher's'' mask having also received attention in ''Film/AmericanSniper'' albeit worn by Americans which in turn prompted the Iraqis to adopt it as a symbol of their retribution against ISIS for having destroyed ''their'' home.
** In fact, Jasem's Iraqi actor Suhail Dabbach previously played a Suicide Bomber in ''Film/TheHurtLocker'', a role which was stereotypically one of the roles Arabic actors could look forward to during the peak of the War On Terror, but here he gets to portray Jasem who will do anything he can to crush the terrorists that have ruined his Iraqi homeland.
