This film contains examples of:
* [[Angry Black Man]]: Michael X, though he's actually a sociopath who uses black activism as a cover for his criminal activities.
* [[Badass Crew]]: Subverted. At first it appears as if Terry is assembling one of these, as is typical in heist films, but as it turns out some of them aren't very good at their jobs at all.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Come Alone]]: A variation. Whenever Terry has to rendezvous with someone, he's careful to set it up in such a way that he has the advantage.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Lew Vogel and his minions both qualify big time.
{{quote| Vogel: "I wanna tell you something, Mr Shilling, because it'll save time. You see, I have a very jaundiced view of life. From what I see most of it's corrupt, venal and vile. And I'm just saying this so that you'll know that I don't have a better nature to appeal to, or a compassionate streak." {{spoiler|Cue sandblaster to the shin.}}}}
* [[The Convenient Store Next Door]]: Le Sac, closed for a basement "extension".
* [[The Crime Job]]
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Hostage for Macguffin]]: When at first Vogel doesn't succeed with Dave, he tries it again with Eddie.
* [[Hypocrite]] - Several of the characters, but Vogel deserves special mention:
{{quote| Vogel: "I think drugs are responsible for the moral decay of this country."}}
* [[The Infiltration]]: Gale Benson. {{spoiler|It doesn't end well}}.
* [[Jurisdiction Friction]]
Line 63 ⟶ 64:
* [[Reformed Criminal]]: Terry Leather, at first.
* [[Saying Too Much]]
{{quote| (Speaking on walkie-talkie) "No names, Eddie." "Sorry, Dave."}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Lew Vogel.
* [[The Seventies]] - With a heavy dose of lingering [[The Sixties]] mixed in (the movie takes place in 1971).
