History Characters / RedEye

* TheSociopath: Played very straight. He is simply doing his job for his own personal agenda, showing practically zero remorse or guilt over his role, despite bearing no ill-will to the actual victims. He also shows very little empathy, such as casually stating that he killed his parents, taunting Lisa about the potential murder of her father many times, and being rather smug and condescending. Both of these show how much of a callous disregard Jackson has for the respect of others, as well how self-serving he is. On top ofthat, he's quite manipulative and very charming to say the least, and his charm doesn't fully go away until he decides to kill Lisa for betraying him for the last time. He's also not afraid to resort to physical harm if it means it can keep Lisa under his control and command.

* LackOfEmpathy: For all the talk about how Jackson might feel a little guilt in his actions, he plays this to an ''absurd'' degree. As he says, "bad things sometimes happen to good people", such as Lisa and Keefe. He repeatedly taunts Lisa, such as condescendingly describing her father's potential murder in callous speech and dialogue, as well as bringing up his knowledge of her personal life and questioning it, with a smug attitude every time. [[spoiler: He also shows absolutely no remorse for the fact that Keefe's family, including his children, will be killed, along with any other potential hotel guests who are nearby, simply putting it as doing his part and moving on]]. He even foreshadows this early on when he talks about [[SelfMadeOrphan:killing his parents]], regardless of whether he was being sarcastic or not. This shows him in a far more evil light than what you might expect.

* AffablyEvil: Jackson is perfectly polite and charming to Lisa... at first.
%%* AntiVillain:

* TrademarkFavoriteDrink: Sea Breeze used to be Lisa's favorite drink until she met Rippner.

!Lisa Reisert
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RachelMcAdams

! Jackson Rippner
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/CillianMurphy

* AffablyEvil: At first.

* PantyShot: [[spoiler:Incidentally, but conspicuously, during the final struggle when Rippner knocks her around and throws her, wounded, down the stairs of her house.]]

* EvilCounterpart: In some ways, Rippner is this to Lisa. They are both revealed to be NotSoDifferent—being "managers" of their particular profession that involves a lot of call-making, are fairly professional, needing to be in control, and are involved in a morally ambiguous situation that risks both of their lives.

* UnfortunateNames: Not because it ''sounds'' bad, per se (in fact, it's sort of an AwesomeMcCoolname at the same time), but, well... ''Jackson Rippner.'' You'd turn evil too. Lampshaded by both Lisa and Rippner himself.

* TallDarkAndHandsome [[TallDarkAndSnarky and Snarky]]

* CorporateSamurai: He's the self proclaimed 'manager' of an assassination. And although he's claims to be a terrible shot, he is not above getting his hands dirty when it comes to violence.
