  • Complete Monster: Lee Woods is a sadistic hitman who enjoys giving his victims exactly one minute to beg for their lives before killing them, with there being no sign that he intends to spare anyone, regardless of what they say or do in that one minute. Introduced murdering one of his targets—and taking extra pleasure from it due to a jealous belief that the man may have had sex with Lee's girlfriend Helga—Lee then betrays and tries to kill his partner Dosmo so that the police won't investigate any further and so Woods can keep the entire payment for himself. Throughout the film Woods murders a variety of police officers and detectives to cover his tracks, threatens to kill his employer if she doesn't increase his payment, and eventually even prepares to kill a mortally wounded Helga instead of trying to help her, apparently out of simple jealousy and possessiveness. When confronted by Dosmo at the end, Lee tortures a man by shooting him multiple times in the legs, just in an attempt to to draw out Dosmo and kill him once and for all.
  • Retroactive Recognition: In addition to Charlize Theron appearing in her first speaking role, Cress Williams appears in his first role as the golfer Alvin pulls his gun on.
