Parker is a professional, he’s a mechanic, he is single-minded, amoral and positively hard-boiled. Sangfroid incarnate even. It doesn’t matter that there are roadblocks all around, nor indeed that citizens are trying to be heroes. He’ll still go ahead and try to pull off the heist. It doesn’t matter that any number of curious folks are trying to queer things or that the complications keep mounting. Twists he can handle. Being trapped in a sleepy town is no problem. The main thing is to coolly assess thing and keep playing the game. The main thing is to get the money somehow. The main thing is to get away.
