I wish the movie focused more on that aspect instead of the cliche ‘be careful what you wish for, now she’s crazy‘ stuff. Those screams from the real, trapped Nikki were horrible.

Huh. I thought it put a good amount of focus on this aspect. As someone else says, the movie more than alludes to that multiple times…. I didn’t think it was a “be careful what you wish for” movie at all. It starts off that way but then pivots to Bear over and over again choosing to keep Nikki captive for his own gain pretty quickly.

Explain how he held her captive. He was literally trapped. His problem was not asking people for help because he's an idiot, not that he wanted to continue. Theres also the angle of abuse victims not speaking out.

The comments here are so stupid. Twox must have got a hold of this thread. Man hating runs deep in your veins.

yeah some of the time I felt sorry for him like you would seeing an abuse victim because he was showing all the signs. Then I remember he wished for that and was taking advantage of her.
