Ambiguous Ending: A lot is left up in the air when the film ends. Billy is presumably dying of his wounds, but we last see him sitting on the beach looking at the sunrise. It's anyone guess as to what happens to Clare next. She has no papers, no job prospects and no cash, though she does have a horse. She might be wanted for accessory to murder.

Animal Motif: Clare is a nightingale, while Billy is a blackbird. They both sing throughout the film.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Private Jago, upon seeing a very, very angry, and very armed Clare, begs for mercy from her, claiming he never meant to hurt her child or her. When cornered by Billy, Ruse begs for his life to no avail.

Army of Thieves and Whores: Lieutenant Hawkins' unit are petty, racist, morally loose and perpetually drunk. You'd think it's just by chance that most of them aren't convicts themselves. Hawkins calls them "the sorriest unit ever" but doesn't do anything to discipline them, and it bites him in the arse when the visiting officer who should promote him isn't remotely impressed with them.
