It was all going so well.... (kind of spoiler)


and then he had to go and shave the beard off!

Great film. Looks good, great acting, involving story. Every time I thought I had it pinned down into a particular type of film, it slightly changed direction.

Good point!

And of course, a majority of threads here were started by people who wanted it to stay predictable, and apparently just got lost when it changed gears on them.

So many key plot points were refreshingly unexpected, beginning with the two key ones: that he kills his quarry so quickly, and, even more so, that he tells his sister about it without even being asked.

Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical, scientific values, gentlemen.

I agree that the guy would have looked more interesting and menacing had he not shaved his beard. But on the other hand, his rather innocent face provided a nice contrast to his violent acts.
