The #Obsession only works because Bear lives in the middle.
If he's purely innocent, then the wish is just bad luck and the film loses its critique.
If he's purely evil from the start, then there's no real discomfort because you never root for him and the tragedy disappears.

The horror isn't what Bear becomes.
It's realizing he was always capable of it, and so is the guy sitting next to you in the theater.

Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.
Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.
THEN they branded him a terrorist.
