Gentleman Thief | |
| The Silent Partner / int_20d965e | comment |
Gentleman Thief: Cullen is polite and affable, and always dresses in a suit (albeit because that's the wardrobe required of a bank teller). | |

Straw Misogynist | |
| The Silent Partner / int_abc28948 | comment |
Straw Misogynist: Reikle, who often shows a derogatory attitude towards women and on some occasions reveals an outright hatred of them that results in him doing some pretty horrific things to several women he encounters; he rapes and nearly kills a teenage girl at the start of the film and is wanted by the police for that, and it's heavily implied Reikle's done things like this before | |
