* JerkassWoobie: To say that Gawain doesn't really do much to establish himself as a likable chap is an understatement, but the [[UsedToBeASweetKid flashback we see of his abusive childhood]] goes a long way toward explaining why he's such a rude and combative asshole.

* BrokenBase: Some fans consider the build-up to the heist to be the movie's highlight and would prefer to disregard the second half when the crooks start killing each other. Other people think that the first half of the movie drags, and the darker second half is where it picks up.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Out of the CaperCrew, Pancake, the buffoonish, amiable DemolitionsExpert played by Creator/JKSimmons, is a frequent favorite. It helps that he's less of a caricature and better developed than most of the others.
