Deadlock

A former supervisor of a now-desolate mining community, Dump is calculating and cold, preferring to manipulate others to protect his own interests. He resists removing Kid's bullet wound, hoping the injury will do him in, and relies on mind games to disrupt the partnership between Kid and Sunshine. His greed and ruthless pragmatism make him dangerous even when backed into a corner.

An older, ruthless killer and Kid's ally-turned-rival, Sunshine is calculating and capable of brutal acts to secure the money. He enters the scene with a cold, pragmatic plan and quickly tests loyalties, betraying others when it serves his aim. His role peaks in the desert confrontation, where he helps seal or threaten the fate of the others.

The mute daughter of Corinna, Jessy acts as a catalyzing presence in the camp. She indirectly influences Dump and Kid through her relationship with Corinna and her own quiet observations. Her presence drives the dynamics in the compound, and she becomes a target in the final acts as violence closes in.

A heat-battered, young bank robber who travels with a money-filled suitcase and a wound to his arm. He relies on cunning and quick decisions in a hostile landscape, and his relationship with Sunshine is fraught with double-crosses. He survives the desert ordeal and ends the film with the fate of the money unresolved.

Enzo is described as a wretched snoop slug whose role centers on surveillance and intrigue among the group. His presence underscores the atmosphere of mistrust and manipulation that threads through the plot.
