Line 20:
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Or, more accurately, ''lack'' of skills. Before their third assassination mission, Danny's team recruits Jake, a young man who is noted to have next to no experience firing weapons or killing discreetly. After the assassination is carried out, the team fights with Logan's men at the docks, and Jake accidentally kills {{spoiler|Meier}} by shooting his weapon through the target.
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: Danny and Anne knew each other from childhood, and end up finally settling down at the end of the film once he finishes the job.
* [[Contract Onon the Hitman]]: Subverted and played straight. Hunter has been captured by the Sheik for failing to complete his assassination mission, but he will not be killed unless Danny doesn't complete the job. Later on, Logan learns that {{spoiler|the British government has been pressuring the Feathermen to stop him from investigating the case because they're influencing the Sheik's oil reserves, and the government attempts to kill both Logan and Danny at a warehouse}}.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Although Danny is a hitman, he will not hurt civilians or children.
* [[Faking the Dead]]: Danny shoots the fourth target, Ranulph Fiennes, in the leg and takes photographs to trick the Sheik into believing he died. Subverted in that Logan (who delivers the photos to the Sheik) immediately tells him the photos are fake {{spoiler|just before he stabs him}}.
