Adaptational Villainy: The Big Bad in the original El desconocido was driven by revenge due to his wife being driven to suicide after the protagonist's poor stock tips. The villain here is solely motivated by greed.

External Combustion: A variation. In the trailer, the bomber warns Matt that the bomb is under his car seat and will go off if he or his kids try to leave the car. He even sets off another car to show he means business.

Faking the Dead: Anders is revealed to have done this after seemingly blowing himself up when Matt threw his gun down and decided to not go through with the bomber's Sadistic Choice, as it's actually Anders who is the bomber.
