* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The movie is about a nihilistic sociopath who marries into wealth, gets an innocent woman pregnant, [[spoiler: murders her, gets away with it, and is pretty damn smug about it, thinking it proves his worldview correct]]. It can be a bit hard to take, even for longtime fans of Creator/WoodyAllen.

Misuse, the trope is a fanon trope by definition.


* RonTheDeathEater: Rare Canon-example. The entire idea behind the movie is basically "How do I turn [[Film/StrangersOnATrain Guy Haines]] into a villain?

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While many audiences can sympathize with Chloe who is seemingly a nice girl, Creator/RogerEbert interpreted her as a passive aggressive RichBitch as she basically bought Chris with her father.

* MoralEventHorizon: Chris, about the point he [[spoiler: kills Nola, his own unborn child and Nola's elderly neighbour - the latter being described as "collateral damage", whom he killed first (while [[FakingAndEntering faking a robbery of her apartment]]) in order to make Nola's death look like an afterthought.]] Admittedly he spent most of the movie lying, cheating on his wife and ruthlessly scaling the social ladder, but until this point he'd come across more as an (admittedly unlikeable) AntiHero than an out-and-out [[VillainProtagonist villain]].
