Middle Aged Mysterious Man
We have made no information as we want to make the gangster man very mysterious, but we do not wish to give anything away. The idea of him being mysterious is based on making the film introduction have a mysterious atmosphere, as this is a classic thriller signifier theme. He will be kept mysterious as the camera will never show his face only his silhouette.
