Line 53:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Russell's plan involves knowing everything that could happen (it borders on [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]).
* [[Guile Hero]]: Frazier is pretty damn close. Russell flat out says it: "You're too smart to be a cop."
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Frazier's partner is [[Serenity (Film)|The Operative.]] There are a couple of alums from [[The Wire]] too: Judge Phelan and Ziggy make an appearance. Miles from ''[[Lost]]'' is one of the hostages, and [[Generation Kill|Corporal Person]] is one of the robbers.
* [[Hired Guns]]: Madeline is the political variant that will work for anyone, so long as they pay.
* [[Kansas City Shuffle]]: Not quite the simple [[Bank Robbery]] it seemed at first.
Line 64:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: The female bank robber uses this.
* [[Opening Monologue]]: Covers the ''who'', ''where'', ''what'', ''when'', ''why'', and sets up the ''how''. {{spoiler|By the end you realize that this could count as a subversion: it's more misleading than informative.}}
* [[Out -Gambitted]]: White's good, but as is revealed at the end, Russell has outfoxed her by {{spoiler|leaving the ring for Frazier}}.
* [[Pac-Man Fever]]: The film went the opposite extreme of this trope. A kid plays an ersatz ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' [[PSP]] game. When we see clips, the game's graphics are too advanced for the PSP, especially since at the time Sony had the CPU speed slowed down to preserve battery life. This has since been lifted.
* [[The Perfect Crime]]
