  • Complete Monster: Faisal is the leader of a syndicate specializing in human trafficking. Running an orphanage in Poland by deceiving good Samaritans, Faisal waits until the girls are in their early teens before abducting them and selling them into the sex trade. Faisal has been doing this so much that his business is worth billions, having sold off countless children. Faisal is a ruthless killer, showing no compunction in killing those in his way, the kids who become too much trouble, or anyone who fails him. When the hero William Lansing tracks Faisal down, Faisal attempts to kill him and keep the sex trade going in order to profit off of it.
  • Fridge Logic: How did Irena know that Lansing would come after her? How she'd know he'd read all those secret messages she left him? How'd she know he'd be at that party? She didn't even know he used to be a CSA agent! He was her pen-pal!
  • Harsher in Hindsight: This movie has a character played by Steven Seagal take on Human Traffickers. In 2010, Seagal was accused of involvement in sex trafficking.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Kasia asks Lansing why he's going to so much trouble for a girl he's never met.
    Billy Ray Lansing: You know, some of us have done bad things in the past, and once in a while we find something that makes us feel better about ourselves. This little girl means a lot to me.
  • Moment of Awesome: The final sword fight between Lansing and Faisal is well choreographed and rather artfully shot for a direct-to-video film.
  • Narm: The scene where Irena writes Lansing a secret message in the caviar platter. Lansing literally looks at a plate of appetizers, and declares "It's a trap!"
