But the "friends" in question abandoned him after he was shot and arrested during a botched bank robbery , and said the "friends" began to forget he existed , to the point where one of them started dating his girlfriend . It's also worth remembering that these "friends" don't seem to particularly like or care for each other either , aside from exchanging a few laughs over drinks to celebrate a successful robbery .

* DesignatedVillain: Ghost is no different from the other bank robbers, yet the film makes him out to be the evil one just because he's seeking revenge on his friends.

* MagnificentBastard: 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 of the money from Cozier's gang's previous heists.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: There really isn't anyone to root for in this movie. There are only two "good guys" in the entire film: a DirtyCop [[spoiler:who ends up getting killed by Jesse]], and a CowboyCop who is neglecful to his daughter due to his obsession with catching the bank robbers. Everyone else is a {{Jerkass}}, a VillainProtagonist, an evil Russian, a minor character who doesn't impact the story, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg or Lilly or Naomi]].

--> '''Ghost''': "Come sip from the cup of destruction."

* MagnificentBastard: Ghost. He single-handedly [[spoiler:manipulated Sergei and the Russians into working with him, only to betray them so he could pull off a heist with his old crew, which unsurprisingly, pisses off Sergei. Then he manipulates Sergei into killing off his old crew, resulting in the deaths of A.J., Sergei, and his crew of Russians. He later steals all of Jesse and Jake's money, calls the cops on them, and gets them killed too. He even intended to steal all of the crew's laundered money from previous heists so he could flee the country. If Cozier hadn't found him at the last second, he would've succeeded in everything he set out to do]].
