Chekhov's Gun: The dog. It used to belong to the murdered Mexican governor, and a dog bite on CIA Agent McReady's leg tips him off that Freddy was right about rogue CIA agents being involved with the Mexican drug smuggling trade. The Dirty Cop Agent Gradney immediately suggests getting rid of the dog as the only piece of evidence linking McReady to the governor's murder. During the climactic gunfight, the dog bites McReady again, causing him to tumble down the stairs, unloading the entire clip of his gun into himself.

The Cavalry Arrives Late: This being an action film, this is expected. By the time the authorities arrive, it's all over.

Boom, Headshot!: Freddy tells Daryl that they should move before they end up with bullets in their skulls, moments before Agent Gradney pulls out his gun and puts one in his partner's head, revealing himself as a Dirty Cop.
