Hotline Miami

Jacket, an American man who was once a soldier in the Hawaiian War, suffers from insomnia and works as a butcher. One day, he begins receiving messages on his landline ordering him to kill specific people. The messages are always "Pig mask?" or "What?" followed by an address. Many former Hawaiian soldiers received the same invitation and animal masks. Jacket doesn't know who is behind the messages, but he begins to follow the orders and commits a series of brutal murders in Miami. He wore a chicken mask on his missions, provided by the company. As the story progresses, Jacket becomes involved in a wider conspiracy involving Russian gangs and patriotic Americans. He also begins to question his sanity and the true nature of his mission. Jacket is impulsive, violent, and psychopathic; he doesn't hesitate to kill and takes pleasure in doing so. He rarely speaks to avoid being recognized by his voice and prefers to keep his thoughts to himself. Jacket suffers from memory lapses due to the death of his girlfriend, who died in an attempt to kill him. Biker is the deuteragonist and appears as a secondary character in Jacket's life. His personality is marked by assertiveness, frankness, egocentrism, and a good dose of arrogance. He is a former agent of 50 Blessings, a mysterious organization, and is looking to leave that world. Biker is impulsive, bored, and wants clear answers about what is happening. He doesn't hesitate to use violence to get what he wants, but he also shows a more human side in certain situations. Biker was nicknamed this because he is a biker and always wears a helmet to hide his identity.
