Tropes for the film:
- Cacophony Cover Up: The villains are playing a record loudly to cover up their torture session. However this also means they don't hear the two detectives entering the house until they interrupt events.
- The Calls Are Coming from Inside the House: The Big Bad is torturing Ganz, but gets a call from The Dragon. When he answers the phone, it goes dead. So he rings him back, only to be surprised to hear the ringtone from inside the house. Then Riley chucks a flash-bang grenade into the room, having killed The Dragon earlier and taken his phone.
- Going by the Matchbook: A branded napkin is the clue for a club that closed down five years before, so the police realize that the villains are using the supposedly derelict building.
- Grave-Marking Scene: Cowboy Cop Riley is unable to visit the grave of his son who died at six of leukemia; at one point he's shown sleeping in his car outside the cemetery. He's even taunted over this by the bad guys, who got hold of his psych report. But at the end of the movie, he's shown walking into the cemetery.
- Grief-Induced Split: Riley and his wife divorced in the wake of losing their son.
- I Have a Family: Becomes a Saying Too Much moment. Ganz is about to be burnt alive if he doesn't talk (and undoubtedly if he does as well). When he gives this trope, the Big Bad says to his henchman. "He has a family - you didn't think that was important?" and orders they be brought to him as well. Cue Big "NO!" from Ganz.
- Man on Fire: The bad guys conduct interrogations by pouring petrol on their victim, setting them on fire, then putting it out with a fire extinguisher. They then repeat the process.
