Blown Across the Room: Played straight and surprisingly Justified with the God-Killer.Bookends: The film starts with Milton speeding his way out of Hell and ends with him going back in.Black-and-Gray Morality: Webster might be the only really decent person in the whole movie.It's implied he'll break out again, eventually.
Bittersweet Ending: Milton's saved his granddaughter and killed Jonah King, but he's still going back to Hell.Milton stole it from Satan on his way out of Hell.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Piper goes through several wild brawls and gets knocked around quite a bit.It helps that he can transform his coin into a realistic badge on demand, but most of it comes from the fact that the man simply is that unflappable. Bavarian Fire Drill: The Accountant wrangles local law enforcement into doing whatever he wants by pretending to be an FBI agent.She fights through a mook and Jonah to take a flying leap out of a moving vehicle onto the hood of another moving vehicle, and later lifts the Godkiller off of the supernaturally-powered Accountant.

Milton explains that it's not the fire, but the video feed of your suffering loved ones that plays 24/7. Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: A surprisingly powerful one when Webster offers Milton a beer, asking him if the fire he's staring into reminds him of home.He does insist on taking Milton back to Hell, though. He also lets Milton finish his roaring rampage - smashing through a police roadblock at one point - when he finds out it's for a selfless cause.and even-tempered when he insults (or kills) the hell out of those who deserve that treatment. For a demon assigned to hunt down Hell's escapees, he's rather polite to those who deserve it.
