It's tough to reconcile the fact that he took the little boy away--without permission--from his adoptive parents in order to return him to his mother. The movie sounds quite intense...not sure if I can watch it as my own ex was a jealous raging maniac.
Yeah, I agree. I also can't really get over him tying his wife to a stove and listening to the baby and her scream without feeling anything. I really liked the film though.
He sounds like a sociopath but a true sociopath wouldn't have delivered the child to his long-lost mother.
He didn't come off as a sociopath honestly. He came off very disturbed and dark though. But he clearly did love the wife and boy in a really fucked up way. He also sacrificed his family so he wouldnt hurt them, a sociopath wouldn't.
