->''Come on, don't bullshit a bullshitter!''
A New York police Detective who handles the bank robbery. He's on very thin ice at work because he's being suspected of having embazzled money (he's innocent though). His girlfriend wants them to get married but he's hesitant because he can't even afford an engagement ring.
* GuileHero: Frazier is pretty damn close. Russell flat out says it: "You're too smart to be a cop."
* NiceHat: Wears a classy hat in one of the last scenes, and refuses to take it off when entering a restaurant.

[[caption-width-right:350:My bite's much worse than my bark.]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/JodieFoster
->''I got where I am by collecting friends, not enemies.''
A woman with the unusual job of "favor broker", who is hired by the bank's owner, Arthur Case, to make sure the contents of his safe in the bank don't come out.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even White, who is an unscrupulous political fixer, is appalled by Case's history of collaborating with the Nazis.
-->'''Mrs. White:''' Well, I'd love to tell you what a monster you are, but I have to help Bin Laden's nephew buy a co-op on Park Avenue.
-->'''Case:''' If that were true, you wouldn't tell me.
-->'''Mrs. White:''' We're listing you as a reference.
* TheFixer: She's [[LampshadeHanging explicitly identified]] as such.
* InsultBackfire: The mayor she demands access to the bank from, calls her "a magnificent [[CountryMatters cunt]]". However, instead of being insulted by this, Mrs. White smiles and happily answers "Thanks you", taking this as a compliment.
* ManipulativeBastard: It's her job to get and give favors, and when she's called "a magnificent cunt" she takes that as a compliment.
* TechnicallyASmile: Madeleine White has a way of smiling in a way that looks genuine at first, but without any warmth whatsoever.

->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChristopherPlummer
->All lies, all evil deeds, they all stink. You can cover them up for a while, but they don't go away.
->--Russell about Case
The owner of the bank being robbed. He has an unlisted, secret safe in the bank, the contents of which he's trying to keep secret, as it would be very bad for him if they ever came out. As the film unfolds it becomes clear he's not who he seemed to be.
* AmbiuouslyJewish: Since he apparently used to know so many Jewish people, he's probably Jewish himself, though it's never stated.
* TheAtoner: Although not presented sympathetically. His lifetime of charitable work and [[AffablyEvil charming personality]] are basically a conscious effort to "cancel out" his dodgy past of collaborating with the Nazis. He seems to be less repentant than hell bent on keeping secret his past misdeeds.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He has been putting on a friendly facade for 60+ years after WWII, but turns out to have been collaborating with the Nazis in WWII, selling out Jewish people to be killed.
* DealWithTheDevil: Case reveals that he sold out one of his Jewish friends to the Nazis for money, even when he had the opportunity to help him.
!! Detective Mitchell
->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChiwetelEjiofor
Frazier's partner who also works on the bank robbery.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Can't keep himself from blatantly staring at a woman's breast when interrogating her, and is so distracted by them that he can't seem to keep his mind on the conversation.
!! "Stevie", "Steve-O" and "Steven"
->'''Played by:''' Kim Director, James Ransone, Carlos Andrés Gómez.
The other bank robbers, whose real names we never know and all are nicknamed versions of "Steve" by each other. The female one, "Stevie", is in a relationship with Dalton Russell.
* ChekhovsGunman: The college professor amongst the hostages says he teaches criminal law at Columbia, specifically in genocide, slave labor and war reparation. He is also a former attorney. At the end, it turns out he's part of the theft crew and maybe the mastermind; he's likely the one who found out about Case's past.
* CrazyPrepared: The complexity of their plan is quite ambitious and presumably required a significant investment of time and money to pull off.
* GagBoobs: "Stevie" is a very large-breasted lady (apparently even noticeable even though she is wearing a large, baggy outfit). When the Detectives point out to her that her large breasts make her a suspect of being one of the robbers, she sarcasticlly answers "So I violated Section 34 Double D?!".
* IdenticallyNamedGroup: The bank robbers call one another by various forms of "Steve" (Steve, Stevie, Steve-O). This was part of their plan to stay confusingly anonymous.
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: The robbers threaten repeatedly to kill someone and at one point appear to have shot someone, but it's all just an act to keep everyone guessing. They however don't hesitate to beat up a bank manager for trying to hide his phone away from them.]]
!! Unnamed female bank customer
->''[About her breasts]'' If you would like to take a better look, I can bend over and pick up a pencil, you know.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Refers to the woman she has on the phone at the beginning as her "girlfriend".
* BestKnownForTheFanservice: InUniverse: One of the hostages vouches for her, because he had been ogling her just before the bank robbery started, and knows she was a bank customer. You can [[MaleGaze see why during the robbery and afterward]] how she can be so... [[GagBoobs noticeable]].
* GagBoobs: A very large-breasted lady. The first scene in the bank is about her being ogled for this by a man in front of her. Later, it becomes an important plot point because the detectives use this physical description to find the female bank robber, which leads to her sarcastically saying the quote above.
* SkewedPriorities: She's more upset by the fact that a robber refers to her as "fat" (which she is not, BTW) than the fact that he's sticking a gun in her face.
!! Unnamed Brooklyn kid
->They don't scare ''me''; I'm from ''Brooklyn'', man.
An "eight-and-three-quarters" year old kid who happens to be at the bank with his father when it gets robbed, and is taken hostage.
* BrooklynRage: During the interrogation, he says, to the amusement of Frazier and his partner, that he wasn't scared by the bank robbers with automatic weapons; he's from ''Brooklyn''.

->'''Played by:''' Creator/CliveOwen
->''I'm clearly a lot smarter than you, and have planned this to perfection.''
The main bank robber, and the only named one. Is robbing the bank not just for the money, but also because he has a moral cause.
* AntiVillain: In addition to committing a crime, he's there to out Case as a Nazi collaborator. "I'm no martyr. I did it for the money. But what's the point of getting rich if you can't look at yourself in the mirror?"
* TheChessmaster: From distracting the police with a foreign-language sound tape, to knowing he is bugged, to himself bugging the police, he's planned for everything. He himself refers to his bank robbery as "the perfect bank robbery".
* CrazyPrepared: The complexity of his plan is quite ambitious and presumably required a significant investment of time and money to pull off.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Russell makes clear in his narration that he is a thief first and foremost and he wants money, but screwing over a war criminal feels a whole lot better for his self-respect than "just" taking the money.
** Also PlayedForLaughs when he discovers one of the hostages, an 8-year old boy, playing a [[MurderSimulators violent video game.]]
---> I'm going to have to talk to your father about this.
* WickedCultured: Light on the former, heavy on the latter.
