* TheSociopath: Smith. While great part of the conspiracy's members are quite unscrupolous people, they at least have some pragmatism and some standards. Smith on the other hand is the worst of all being a PsychoForHire who goes even beyond his "job" by ruining an innocent man's life and being willed to kill unharmed bystanders (which is very unprofessional considering he has to keep a low profile).

Notable for being filmed in real-time: the movie has a run time of about 90 minutes, and the plot itself unfurls in that same amount of time.
