Line 18:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Possibly Nicholas's father. {{spoiler|And later in the movie the trope is subverted with Nicholas himself.}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: After despairing to Nicholas, sobbing and crying, {{spoiler|Conrad has a huge grin on his face when Nicholas leaves, which is a huge hint that the entire game is just that, a harmless game.}}
* [[I'm Not a Doctor But I Play One On TV]]: {{spoiler|Douglas discovers the CRS representative is an actor when he sees him doing a drug commercial on TV.}} Which is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], since {{spoiler|the actor who plays the actor playing the rep (James Rebhorn) is frequently a source of [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]] in real life, most recently on ''[[White Collar]]''.}}
* [[Massive Multiplayer Scam]]: Douglas spends most of the movie trying to figure out if it's a scam. ({{spoiler|Averted.}})
* [[Mind Screw]]
Line 30:
* {{spoiler|[[Staged Shooting]]}}
* [[The Picture Came With the Frame]]: Suspecting that {{spoiler|Christine is a CRS plant, Nicolas opens the picture frames on the walls of her apartment, and finds the pictures are cut from magazines.}}
* [[The Un -Reveal]]: It's never revealed how much the game cost. {{spoiler|We just see Nick and Conrad stunned over the cost at the very end, with Nick offering to spit the bill.}}
* [[Vapor Wear]]: When [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment|Trapped In An Elevator]] with waitress Christine, Nicholas asks her to crawl out the roof hatch. An embarrassed Christine reveals she's reluctant to do this because she's not wearing any underwear. With her [[Fetish Fuel|short skirt]]. Given what happens later, this is likely deliberate so as to [[Distracted By the Sexy|mess with the protagonist's head]].
** {{spoiler|We do see later that she was wearing a bra, so that is probably true.}}
