* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's never stated outright what condition Andrew has which makes him act so creepy and "off".

* HeartwarmingMoment: When [[spoiler: Baz ]] hits J, Derran and Craig immediately leap to their nephews defense.

* CatharsisFactor: After Derran spent the past episode harassing and threatening J for [[spoiler: finding out he's secretly gay,]] seeing Pope [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rip into him]] for nearly [[spoiler: botching the safe job]] and praising J at his expense for cutting the [[spoiler non-live wire in the way of their exit, saving the mission]] is ''immensely'' satisfying.

-->'''Pope''':

* TheWoobie: Jay certainly fits the bill as his uncles terrifying and abuse him left and right.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Leckie is the only spotless character in the film, who plants the seeds in Joshua's head that his family is about to come crashing down on top of him.]]
** Janine qualifies as well.

** Joel Edgerton became far more recognizable after signing up for projects such as ''Film/{{Warrior}}'', ''Film/ZeroDarkThirty'', ''Film/TheGreatGatsby'', and ''Film/BlackMass''.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The ending.

** Pope is actually more sympathetic here even as he's no less dangerous.

* MoralEventHorizon: Pope leering over a sleeping Nicky and then carrying her away, only to be disturbed by Joshua? Horrible. Encouraging a distraught Nicky to take an arm full of heroin after being dumped by Joshua ([[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies after it becomes apparent Pope suspected her of ratting to the police]])? Reprehensible. [[spoiler: [[AndIMustScream Then taking a skagged-out Nicky and violently interrogating her]], before strangling her and dumping the body in an alleyway? ''Utterly fucking unforgivable.'']]

* CompleteMonster: "Pope" is a creepy pervert, more so after Barry (who seemed to hold him in check) is killed. [[spoiler: Some might actually find Janine ordering the execution of her own grandson more monstrous though.]]

* CompleteMonster: "Pope" is one ''hell'' of a creepy pervert, more so after Barry (who seemed to hold him in check) is killed. [[spoiler: Some might actually find Janine ordering the execution of her own grandson more monstrous though.]]

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Leckie is pretty much the only spotless character in the film, who plants the seeds in Joshua's head that his family is about to come crashing down on top of him.]]

* KarmaHoudini: Janine may qualify since [[spoiler: she survives through the film and successfully corrupts her grandson Joshua. Possibly subverted in that her two oldest sons were killed, but it seems that she understandably wasn't all that fond of Pope, and treated Craig more as a household pet than a son.]] On the other hand, she does seem genuinely devastated by [[spoiler: Darren's catatonic, traumatized state after [[NoodleIncident unspecified events]] during his stint in prison.]]
