personally I don't think the father is a great father.

I can understand the father being a soldier, was stern and strict. worried his autism child may not be able to protect himself, but why subject the normal child to the same extreme treatment/training?

The father should have treated the normal child with a normal upbringing, instead, both of his children became killers and they don't look happy to me.

At least the father gave them what he could. What he was good at. He was not a caring nurturer, so he couldn't give them that.

Chris was, however, doing the books for terrorists, wasn't he? Or did I read that wrong. Definitely the cartel. Did he then turn the cartel in? This was not clear to me.

Chris did books for criminal organizations, probably because he wanted millions to give the autism clinic. According to the Treasury agent, the tips came when someone violated his moral code. His original vendetta was against people who tortured and murdered his best friend in prison who treated him like a son and taught him useful skills. When he resorted to killing again it was self defense and defense of the innocent girl accountant. Even at the last minute, the villain is telling him that the girl is a threat and not agreeing to leave her alone, which is probably why he was shot by Chris.

this message is for Lenmer. IMDB seems to not want me to reply to folks' posts, as I get the "error" page.

Chris didn't care then if people were hurt, as long as he didn't know them. That's interesting, but it makes his character a little less, imo.
