<p dir="auto">There's no doubt he's selfish, self-serving and unconcerned with the fate of the young woman whose body he now occupies.  I can't say he's really evil because he did not create the situation he's in or control it.  He simply selfishly exploits it - he's just gotten a reprieve from a death sentence and all he cares about is that he's now free, doesn't care how or who it hurts (pretty consistent with human nature, no?).<br />
I think Ryan tries to convey some of this in her performance; there are several scenes where she is cold, really a bit unlikeable, when she's him.  When Baldwin tells her he's on to him (Baldwin's acting was excellent in that scene, btw), she stands there with a hard, cold look on her face.  And on the island, when she says "you wanna give em your money, go ahead" and "Back off, pal!" you see he's kind of a tough character, with little feeling for Baldwin.<br />
But I think the movie means to suggest, though it is not well developed, that he begins to have a change of heart.  We see him very pensive at the parent's house, and when Baldwin tricks him into a confrontation he says he wanted to come.  He's begun to think more deeply about what he's done.<br />
It's unfortunate this movie doesn't explore some of these contradictions more thoroughly, it would have been a better film.</p>
