Hey, I don't fault you at all for not liking the movie, but if you are going to criticize omissions from the movie, it's probably a good idea to finish the film. If you had finished the film, you would have seen the explanation for his ex-con background not playing a major role that you were asking about. He was in for forgery, not murder or anything like that. So his character had questionable ethics, but he wasn't entirely dangerous or horrible. You can kind of see how his character would be in prison for something like forgery or money laundering instead of something like murder/assault or rape. He was a bit manipulative and under-handed in trying to get what he wanted, but he was also ultimately gentle and not a mean-hearted person. They left his reveal of that side of him to her for the end for dramatic impact and tension. She had felt he was hiding something for much of the film and called him out on it towards the end of the movie.
