I thought the interesting thing about each character was basically how
shady each one is. What I mean is, we learn from the beginning that there
is a snitch in the house. We just don't know who it is. But when we see
the flashbacks of most of the characters, we see something not quite
right about each of them that would lead us to believe that either one of
them is the snitch. For example, Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), he has been
busted by the cops, spent time in jail, and is now stuck on probation w/
a tough probationary officer at a half-way house. Of course, if he
volunteered or was forced to be a police informant for shorter parole or
whatever deal he would get, he seems like a good candidate to be the
snitch. Also, w/ the Oedipal fight he has w/ Nice Guy Eddie over who
really has the balls to be the #2 man under Joe, Mr. Blonde has reason to
hate Nice Guy Eddie and could bust the whole operation. Mr. White is very
nervous, says some questionable things., such as when Mr. Pink says how
many cops he tagged, Mr. White is very non-committal or doesn't appear to
be honest when he says ge tagged some cops too, but doesn't go into
specifics or say anything else.  Mr. Pink, he's got the diamonds, why not
leave? If he is the snitch, it could have been his undercover job to snag
the diamonds to make sure they are in safe hands while returning to the
warehouse to keep the other criminals at bay and confused for as long as
he can hold out. Also, he flops sides in any argument w/ ease. Hmmmm...
very suspicious. Well, I could go on for a while, but enough z nuff.  --
