 Badass Adorable: Machine is generally a friendly, passive being, who inherited Eva's fear of spiders and clowns, and has a childlike fascination with the world. She's also stronger than steel and can kill a man with just one finger (and does so twice).

 A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Inverted. The AI doesn't want to kill anyone, but the director of the project forces it to do so with threats of activating its self-destruct.

 Break the Cutie: Thompson's plan for turning a childlike android into a weapon consists of having her murder the Chinese agent who killed Eva, on whom she was modeled, telling her that the man will kill Vincent if she doesn't intervene.
