YMMV / Give 'Em Hell, Malone

• Complete Monster:
  • Whitmore is the Human Trafficking crime lord Malone has to take down. An evil sleazeball who brings in women from the Atlantic and bribes them into miserable lives of prostitution, Whitmore keeps his "favorites" for himself, throwing them to the streets if they happen to get pregnant. Such is the fate of the film's resident Femme Fatale, Evelyn; when Evelyn tried to seek refuge with her lover Sammy, Whitmore has Sammy murdered and Evelyn bent back under his thumb. Fully endorsing the sadism of one Psycho for Hire after another in his attempts to kill Malone, regardless of who they leave dead behind them, Whitmore ultimately plans to go "legit" to avoid the fallout of his many, many crimes. To do this, Whitmore spurred Malone's rampage in the first place, guiding him to slaughter every single person in his syndicate and thus remove all witnesses to his evil. Whitmore even guns down Evelyn, gleefully stating nobody has any worth to him and that Malone's corpse will take the fall for every single body Whitmore tricked him into killing.
  • Matchstick is a violent pyromaniac who burned his own parents alive and now hires himself out so as to slake his destructive appetites. Introduced burning down an entire disco full of innocents—with his horrified partner noting that Matchstick always "burns down the places he robs"—Matchstick later terrorizes Murph by dousing him in kerosene as an interrogation tactic before setting Murph ablaze for a snide comment. After failing to kill his target Malone, Matchstick takes the man's lover and mother as hostages to capture him, and later tortures Malone by forcing him to ingest kerosene and threatening to burn him alive slowly.
