• Alternative Character Interpretation: Frankie would be a nice guy if the people he hung out with weren't such dickheads.
• Harsher in Hindsight
• Moral Event Horizon: Johnny has pretty much stamped His passport to Hell by the time the credits roll
• Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The Gangster lifestyle is for idiots and useless fuck-ups and is populated by people who'll burn you at the first sign of trouble.
• Tear Jerker
• The Woobie: By about thirty minutes before the end of this movie, you're gonna wish you didn't already know how it ended.
• Values Dissonance: The drug use and the indifference most of the people have to that is only part of the problem. No one - least of all the victim - seems to mind that a kidnapping is taking place and everyone even treats it as a lark, with the victim accorded minor celebrity status among Johnny's party crowd. Until Johnny orders Frankie to kill Zach...
  • Even then it continues. Pick for instance is pissed not that Elvis murdered someone but that he is in trouble for them using his mom's car.
