#KNOCK AROUND HOW TO#
Gilligan Cut: When trying to figure out how to find the thief of the bag full of money, even Marbles figures out it's unlikely for anyone to be stupid enough to suddenly start waving around so much cash.Things get complicated in rural Montana, where he had a fueling stop. Marbles was supposed to fly from NY to Spokane, Washington, and then back, in a simple fetch flight. Not only they have no idea how to handle the situation, they have no clue how to deal with the locals, as they can't throw around the weight of their connections. Fish out of Water: Four scions of NY mob in a tiny rural town at Montana-North Dakota state border.The truth is a bit more complicated: Marbles just got executed by Teddy's enforcers, and Chris is in the process of changing his mind. Fair-Weather Friend: Both Matty and Taylor end up considering Chris and Marbles this and openly discuss it with disdain when they don't show up for the final meet-up.It's also implied Benny doesn't want to get Matty involved into any sort of criminal activity as a way of sheltering him from potential prison time and even more likely bullet to the head. Evil Parents Want Good Kids: While his father is a big fish in the East Coast mob, Matty is living perfectly normal life and for the most part tries to be "just a citizen", despite being fully aware of his father's and relatives criminal activities since he was a little boy.Evil Chancellor: Teddy, the mobs Number Two has been Stealing from the Till, goes after the money himself, and reveals that hes always hated Mattys dad for making him lose when they play basketball together.Marbles has hard time counting for how many months he's been off drugs, setting up his unreliable nature and drug issues.Taylor comes in to a store to collect slot money and when being skimmed out of it, trashes the place and threatens the owner until he's paid, setting him up as a serious, but also overly confrontational.Chris is a careless playboy that's busy dating two random chicks at his family's restaurant, charging the bill on the house and being reminded that he was supposed to stop doing that.Matty is introduced as a hard-working kid that nobody wants to hire for a legitimate job due to being son of a well-known mobster, which frustrated him to no end.Establishing Character Moment: All four main characters get theirs.
He's Instantly Proven Wrong, as the scene cuts to the two stoners doing exactly that, while also goofing in the store. Marbles points out nobody would be stupid enough to start throwing around the stolen money, especially in a tiny town in a middle of nowhere. While Sheriff Decker has no qualms about Police Brutality, taking over the stolen (and illegal) money or even planning a murder, Ward, his Deputy, has none of it and is only dragged into the situation by threat of being incriminated anyway. The gun store owner couldn't care less about the gun regulations and then covers for Matty when being prodded about the issue, since he was given a hefty tip.The small-town Sheriff Decker is very keen on keeping the money for himself.Changed My Mind, Kid: Chris gets nervous before the final shootout and decides to skip town (trying to convince Marbles to do the same), but in the end he comes back to help, shooting the sheriff's cousin as he gets the drop on Matty and the others.Cerebus Syndrome: Kicks in once Teddy orders Marbles' execution.If that wasn't enough, they even pull this on Marbles, saving him from a hairy situation in a bar, just to execute him in a back alley mere minutes later. Cavalry Betrayal: Teddy and his goons didn't came to sort things out, they are there to kill everyone involved and pocket the money.Chris comes back to the final shootout and dissolves the Mexican Standoff by shooting Gordy In the Back.Teddy shows up in Montana to sort things out, the old-fashioned way.The Casanova: Chris is not only womanizer, but also proud of it.
