Rape as Backstory | |
| Traces of Red / int_524f94d3 | comment |
Rape as Backstory: A rare male example. After Jack is suspected of being the killer, Jack eventually reveals that he was raped as a child by his former first-grade teacher, one Gloria Wurtz. While speaking with Jack's brother Michael, however, Jack's partner Steve learns that it was actually Jack and Michael's own mother who raped Jack. | |

How We Got Here | |
| Traces of Red / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: The film begins with Jack flat on his back with a bullet in his chest. The film is then told in flashback form, leading up to the events that led him there. | |

Drop Dead Gorgeous | |
| Traces of Red / int_afcafc5d | comment |
Drop Dead Gorgeous: Morgan is shown lying dead in bed with her breasts exposed when Jack arrives at the crime scene; Jack covers her chest to restore her dignity. In another scene, when Jack testifies about Kimberly Davis' murder, a flashback shows her lying dead on the bed with her breasts bare. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Traces of Red / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A noir film that begins with the protagonist laying down, apparently dead? Sounds a lot like Sunset Boulevard. Unlike that film though, Jack actually lives to tell the tale. | |

Faking the Dead | |
| Traces of Red / int_f9876f7e | comment |
Faking the Dead: Turns out that Jack wasn't killed as the opening scene might've implied; he wanted to give Michael, the real killer, a false sense of security that he was dead. | |
