Tropes for the film:
- Actor Allusion: Matt (Morrow) talks about his favorite show, NUMB3RS, being cancelled, as the show ended a year before the film came out.
- Disappeared Dad: Joe's father died when he was ten years old, though Joe says he wasn't always there for him before his death, leading him to his own realization about his own behavior.
- Homage: To the Nolan film Inception as, like the film, Interception deals with the subconscious, with Joe's wife going into his mind to bring him out of his sports obsession.
- I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Alimi's NUMB3RS co-stars, Morrow and Dylan, also star in the film as he poker friends.
- Not Distracted by the Sexy: Joe is so distracted by the game he is watching that he doesn't pay attention to a hot woman offering him and his wife a threesome.
- One-Word Title: Interception.
