Well, I'll watch the rest possibly tomorrow, but I don't know how it will be worked out to make it hollow. Frankly, Joe is probably one of the first candidates that I'm genuinely conflicted on. Sure, I had candidates like Evans or Destler that I was unsure on, but they either had the benefit of not having any scenes where they had legitimate mitigating factors, or they had potential humanizing moments that were undone towards the climax of the film.

Joe, in this film at least, states that children are precious; while I would argue that it's because he views children as the continuation of a bloodline, I can't say that that's clearly the case with him rescuing the boy.
