Go To

  • Magnificent Bastard: Crunch Calhoun is a charismatic art thief who desires revenge on his brother Nicky for a betrayal by Nicky which left Crunch in prison. Crunch orchestrates a scheme to make his brother think they're stealing a copy of the Gospel of St. James and then banks on his brother's greed to convince him to keep it and make copies to increase their profit. In reality, the book doesn't exist and the money Nicky gave the forger to make the copies is instead pocketed by Crunch. Crunch convinces the Interpol agent to both arrest Nicky and allow him to take Nicky's expensive painting to make himself even more rich.
