He's one of the most unsympathetic characters I've ever seen in a film. Even his boss (Teddy Bass) let Gal off the hook with his murder he was such an *beep*

He was so ghastly I was cheering on his attackers, as they set about him with a ladies' stiletto, a shot-gun and then a great big rock. The character was insane, not sympathetic at all, even a little bit, but he was such a joy on account of Ben Kingsley's performance, to watch, that I kind of get what I think you're saying - you can't like him but sort of want to see a lot more of him in the film.
Exactly. He definitely had to die as he was asking for it the whole time, although, I did feel sorry for him when he said "Jackie, I love you" while they were killing him. Absolutely incredible performance by Sir Ben Kinglsey. :)
