Visionary Villain: Metzler believes his resurrection process will "change the face of warfare." Played with in that that isn't his primary goal; he just wants a lot of money.

comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The film's trailer flat out lies about what the story is. Namely, it makes it look like Conrad has been poisoned, and has twenty four hours to eliminate his target or he will die. The story is nothing like that.

The Stool Pigeon: Conrad's initial foray into the plot is when he's hired to kill a Red Mountain employee turned whistleblower after he has to dispose of the bodies. That guy's killed halfway through, so Conrad has to stop Red Mountain himself.

Disposing of a Body: A particularly nightmarish scene has Zera testifying before the UN about him and a bunch of other Red Mountain employees finding 70 bodies left after the resurrection experiments, dumping them in a mass grave, and burning them.

Heel–Face Turn: Travis Conrad starts off as a freelance assassin, but turns on his bosses when he's resurrected. Tim Morrow, Wetzler's chief gun, spends the whole film conflicted and ultimately ends up taking Conrad's side, even getting to kill his former boss himself.

You and What Army?: When Conrad goes to rescue Lin's son, the goons ask how he's gonna make them do anything when they're wildly outgunned, only for all the families of the people Red Mountain experimented on to come out as backup.

Playing with Syringes: Red Mountain kidnaps 70 civilians-man, woman or child-and experiments on them to create a resurrection process. All of them die. The experiments are even directly compared to Josef Mengele's.

Doomed Protagonist: Travis Conrad has exactly 24 hours to live, due to undergoing a resurrection procedure. Once that 24 hours ends, he will die permanently. He does, but is resurrected at the very end of the film.

Suicidal Overconfidence
 24 Hours to Live / int_f97ab6a5
comment
Suicidal Overconfidence : Wetzler appears to be neurologically incapable of not being overly confident all the time. What does he do when Travis breaks into his office after killing dozens of his men? Walk as calmly and slowly as possible to the door, as if Travis is really going to let him live after all he's done! The most absurd thing about it all is that he could possibly have escaped Travis if he had just run full speed to the door while Travis was busy fighting one of the guards.
