How character is different at the end of the film from when the film began:

At the beginning of the film Russell is trying to better himself as a person he no longer wants to be a part of his drug taking criminal friend group. This is why he trys so hard at work. Russell has had a shady past which we don’t no much about the only information we get about this are brief flashbacks to traumatic time in his teenage years. While at work things start to get better for him but once he feels as if he is being exploited his mental state becomes worse than ever. He starts taking more cocaine and cannabis and he starts to deteriate. He ends up torturing his manager tom and keeping him in the office over night while he’s there he talks and talks about his past and what people have done to him. In this part fo the narrative we see his manager toms usually chipper and strong personality turn to pure weakness and his true self is shown he is understandably scared of Russell’s state. Throughout we see Russell drinking and taking more and more drugs and hurting himself. He ends up keeping tom in the building over the weekend until the early hours of Sunday morning when the police turn up and a hostage situation takes place. Russel lets two police officers into the office where he starts his absolute end over the space of a few hours tom starts to kill himself by beating himself and cutting himself in gruesome and shocking ways the film ends on a Monday morning when Russell eventually dies if I was to make this I would want the audience to feel sorry for Russell and that an injustice has taken place.
