  • Magnificent Bastard: Delonte "Ghost" Rivers is a former member of Gordon Cozier's gang of bank robbers recently released from prison. After leaving prison, Ghost meets with Sergei and his gang of Russians so they can discuss how they'll rob an armored truck. He later meets with Cozier's gang, informing them of the same robbery and manipulating them into robbing the armored truck before the Russians do. After the robbery, Ghost gives up the location of the hotel room Cozier's gang is staying in to Sergei before abandoning them, resulting in a shootout that wipes out Sergei and his crew, along with AJ. He later kills his former love interest and leaves her body for her fiancé, Jake Attica, to find, while the Attica brothers are slain by the police moments later. Believing Cozier's crew is dead, Ghost kills Cozier's money launderer and tries to steal all the money from Cozier's gang's previous heists.
  • Narm: Ghost at times, in large part due to T.I.'s overacting, and for having cheesy lines.
    Ghost: "Come sip from the cup of destruction."
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: There really isn't anyone to root for in this movie. There are only two "good guys" in the entire film: a Dirty Cop who ends up getting killed by Jesse, and a Cowboy Cop who is neglectful to his daughter due to his obsession with catching the bank robbers. Everyone else is a Jerkass, a Villain Protagonist, an evil Russian, a minor character who doesn't impact the story, or Lilly or Naomi.
