** Twelve years later Creator/ChristopherNolan would make a movie staring [[Film/{{Inception}} a thief also (sur)named Cobb.]] Considering Nolan got the idea for ''Film/{{Inception}}'' early in his career (but took years getting to a point where he was well-known enough to get the funding necessary to pull it off) this probably isn't a coincidence.

* HilariousInHindsight: AlasPoorScrappy: [[spoiler: Even if The Blonde was manipulating The Writer, it doesn't make her demise at Cobb's hands any less horrifying]].
* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Cobb sure makes breaking into houses ForTheEvulz look fun.
* EvilIsCool: Cobb is a pretty mundane version of this. But the way he goes about his dirty deeds is pretty awesome.

* MagnificentBastard: Cobb is ordered by a gangster (The Bald Guy) to kill one of his former lovers after she started blackmailing him, then notices that a stranger (the Writer) has been following him. He plays the Writer for a complete fool, implicating himself in the murder Cobb is planning under the guise of teaching him the art of burglary. He pretends to be working with the Blonde to implicate the Writer for another murder. He reveals he's working for the Bald Guy, kills the Blonde with the same weapon the Writer used earlier in another burglary, then disappears into thin air to let the Writer take the fall.
