He reassures his gf in one scene that he's going to protect her and not let anything happen to here and that he promises to get her out of there and then the next scene he is evil and wants to murder her so that he can escape? There was no struggle or conflict within him. He just brutally beats her head in, shows NO remorse or emotion and almost seems to enjoy it. SO unbelievable. There was 0 transition from him being loving and caring with her to being insane and wanting to brutally murder her and then having an evil grin on his face at the end of the movie.
