The film's opening starts mid conversation. The setting is the interior of a restaurant. The time is not specified but the two characters on screen are eating breakfast so the audience can tell that the scene is some time in the morning. The two main characters are not wearing any sort of fancy clothing and this shows that the two aren't wealthy characters. This factors into the conversation they're having and this opening scene is very dialogue heavy. The conversation between the two revolves around robbing banks and stores and how banks are easier to rob than the latter. The subject matter of the conversation suggests that the film will be an action movie, however the length and focus of the dialogue suggests that the action is not the main focal point.
While the opening scene of the movie only has two actual characters, with the exception of a waitress that has only one line, there is never a suggestion that these two will be the protagonists of the film. The way they speak doesn't make them the most likable of people and the talk of robbing people doesn't portray them as good people. The scene ends with them commencing their robbery and then cuts away. This further gives reason for them not being the main characters as their actions are cut off and the scene ends.
