Paul is really a character in the movie. He provides comic relief in the film, whereas I didn’t really get that impression from the book. He cracked me up throughout the whole movie. First, in the beginning, he gets slapped by Janet, and seems to enjoy it. Then, he throws a boy out of the window. He also throws a shoe at Nick’s thug. I thought that he came off as a horny schoolboy the way that he pursues Janet. The killer was definitely at the end when Ed thinks that he wants to shake his hand, but then Paul tells him that he wants Janet’s hand, and he shamelessly takes the ring from off her finger. Hilarious.
