 Adult Fear: Jack isn't just trying to save himself, much of his worry comes from the fact he's trying to protect his two young daughters. The whole insurgency is a threat to anyone that tries to either escape or assist those who do, extending to every man, woman and child on their kill-list. Throwing not one, but two children across two buildings with your wife catching them is horrifying.

 Action Survivor: Jack Dwyer and Hammond, but to some extent the rest of his family. They're not trying to stop the soldiers or end the fighting, just make it to safety alive.

 Alternate History: Considering that it neighbors Vietnam, the movie's unnamed country is an area that in our world is part of either Laos or Cambodia. The appearance of a French national on the hotel's rooftop (who translates the rebel crowd's "Blood for Water" chant for the protagonists) hints that like the aforementioned countries of Indochina it may also have once been a French colony.
