Protagonist

Character Role Analysis

Johnny Hooker

Johnny is the first grifter we meet in this movie and we root for him from start to finish. Yes, the guy's flawed, but that's exactly what makes him so interesting.

Johnny likes to live life on the fly and to blow money whenever he gets it. But we know that the guy has a lot of skills and a good heart, and we admire him all the more when he sets out to avenge the death of his partner, Luther Coleman.

For the rest of the movie, Johnny has a lot of close calls where he's nearly killed by gunmen. But he manages to make it out of the movie alive, and it's fair to say that most of us are glad that he does.
