YMMV / Heist (2015)

• Complete Monster: Derek "The Dog" Prince is the sadistic right-hand man to Francis "The Pope" Silva, far surpassing his boss in depravity. A Torture Technician who has a lair filled with implements he uses, the Dog tortures and kills anyone who crosses Pope to "send a message", and he's shown doing just this to a small-time thug and his girlfriend to extort information out of them. When Pope's casino is robbed, the Dog goes on a warpath to find the perps, needlessly killing two homeless people just for lending out a car to the robbers before executing a pilot the burglars planned to hire. The Dog captures the ringleader of the thieves, Vaughn, douses him in gasoline, and plans to burn him alive. When Vaughn reveals he stole from Pope to pay for his sickly daughter's surgery, the Dog informs Vaughn that he's going to kill the man's daughter next out of spite, promising to make sure she suffers before she dies.
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Luke Vaughn is a retired criminal who decides to pull off one final heist to pay for the surgery his sickly daughter needs. Teaming up with the bloodthirsty Cox, Vaughn lays out a plan to rob the impregnable Swan casino, successfully evading guards and bypassing the locks. Though exposed, Vaughn planned for such an occasion and takes a bus of passengers hostage, using the bus to keep ahead of pursuing police. Vaughn makes a hostage exchange of a supposedly pregnant woman—actually Vaughn's sister, who he slips the stolen casino money to hide in her fake pregnant belly—to show good faith with the cops, and later murders Cox to prevent him from harming an innocent passenger. Despite his criminal actions, Vaughn's kindness spurs the very people he took hostage to help him escape the police, and though he is then cornered by the Swan's owner, Pope, Vaughn reveals to him that the entire bus-hijacking was planned from the start and that his daughter's surgery has already been paid for by his sister with Pope's stolen money.
  • Francis "the Pope" Silva is an aged crime boss who has set up a cushy job for himself as the owner of the Swan casino, that doubles as a money laundering outfit for every major crime family in the city. The Pope has designed the Swan to be imprenetrable, and ruthlessly tracks down and kills anyone who cheats him out of even a small amount of money, simply on principle. When Luke Vaughn leads a heist on the Swan, Pope dispatches his right-hand man Dog to track Vaughn down, eventually cornering Vaughn. Though initially prepared to kill Vaughn, Pope is impressed at Vaughn's scheme and his motive to save his sickly daughter, and so Pope executes the vicious Dog for threatening Vaughn's family, then helps Vaughn escape so he can reunite with his daughter.
