i admit, it was not paying too much attention to the scene. but they were developing sort of a relationship, if you can have a relationship with a man that does not sleep.

she was becoming his confident, and i guess it turned into a little more.

i know the boundaries between the good guys and the bad guys is what the film is about, but...... don't take it too far.

that's an interesting idea for a film. the cop turns into a maniac serial killer, as he's hunting down one.

maybe that's not past the interest of this director. but this director seems focused more on exploring fundamental ideas like self-deception and how far do you 'reasonably' go to protect the innocent. seems to me, he's using the film to raise a philosophical issue, not as a study in maniacs.

the cop is really compelled, it seems to me, by his morality, by his strong belief in right and wrong. that's why he does what he does at the end. he risks his life for his belief.

it would be fundamentally wrong for him to kill an innocent bystander through his own mistake. that would take the philosophical edge off the film.
