YMMV / The Gunman

Go To

  • Jerkass Woobie: Felix chose Jim as the trigger man for the hit in Congo, in the full knowledge that he was thereby exiling him from the country, and it's heavily implied that he also intentionally made this choice so as to get Jim out of the way so he could make a play for Jim's girlfriend Annie. This was a thoroughly jerkass move. The woobie part is the way Felix then lived in fear for years of the possibility of Jim reentering their lives, knowing that Annie still had feelings for him. Add his knowing all the horrible things their company did while in the DRC and the fear of the past coming back to bite them all in the ass. Both of his fears came to pass within just a couple days. No wonder he basically invited his own death.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Cox murdering Jim's friend, Stanley.
