Punch-Clock Villain: Or so Troy tries to say he is. But seeing how he's not above raping any "pretty girls" who come through, it's tough to tell with any certainty.

comment
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Troy acts like a nice enough fellow. He shares a beer with John and has a friendly conversation with him, and claims not to judge him for his illicit activities. In secret, he’s actually a criminal so desperate for money he’ll kidnap people from wealthy families and hold them for ransom and considers raping Rosie.

 The Neighbor / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Troy claims to be against resorting to murder when it’s unnecessary. However, he sees no issue with planning to rape and kill Rosie, seeing it as being little more than "taking out the trash". There doesn’t seem to be much reason behind this decision except to firmly establish him as the bad guy.

Villainous Rescue: Also an Enemy Mine. Neil saves John, Rosie, and Sarah from Troy and Harley, attempting to drive far away from them. It’s short lived, however, as he is shot to death by Officer Burns.

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: Is it really a surprise that a town called Cutter is home to drug dealers, crooked cops, and money-seeking psychopaths?

Asshole Victim: Neil is probably the nastiest person in the movie. To say he had his death coming can't be stressed enough.

Alas, Poor Villain: Cooper always came off as the more sympathetic of the baddies, and his pleas for mercy and his cries for his father are actually rather sad.

Anti-Hero: John hovers between Pragmatic and Unscrupulous. He’s a drug peddler and can be pretty moody at times, but at heart, he’s actually a good man who just wants to live a happy life with his girlfriend. That being said, he isn’t above killing people when it’s needed.

Expy: John — played by Josh Stewart — is a sympathetic criminal played by Josh Stewart trying to keep his loved one happy while facing problems from his not-so-sympathetic employers and a masked man. Sounds a lot like Arkin.

Earn Your Happy Ending: John kills Troy and leaves the town of Cutter with Rosie to live a normal life, with his uncle dead and unable to chase him. Then again, this is only assuming that Troy's warnings weren't just empty.
