* HateSink: Michael loses every single shred of redeeming quality in the second half of the film. Its bad enough that he's a FalseFriend who's willing to use Brandon as a fall guy for his drug operation, but then he betrays his alleged best friend, keeping Brandon in jail for 8 years as he single-handedly climbs up the ranks in the triads. As a triad leader, he repeatedly gloats of his power and success, and doesn't bat an eye towards his betrayal. When May, Brandon's girlfriend rejects him, he had his mooks hunt her down and kidnap her (who's raising Brandon's son as a single parent), forcing her as bait to lure Brandon out. When Brandon successfully killed his way to Michael's mansion, Michael kills May and leaves her corpse exposed to intimidate Brandon, and tries using Brandon's son as a hostage. [[spoiler: Michael's KarmicDeath is well-deserved, shot repeatedly to death by his former best friend whom he betrayed in exchange for power, wealth and glory]].
