Sure but I think that is also part of his character. His seduction of Severine was insensitive sure, but was part of his mission, and I don’t remember it being portrayed as anything other than cold-hearted too. I wouldn’t say that’s misogynistic.

Unless I’m forgetting something, she’s already got him on the boat to Silva’s hideout when he sneaks into her shower to have sex. The fact that he’s assuming that of course she’ll have sex with him is made all the worse by the fact that one of the only things he (and we) know about her is that she used to be a sex slave - basically it feels like he’s abusing her.

Then there’s the matter of “waste of good scotch” which puzzles me every time I watch the film. I want to believe that he’s just saying that as a front, but there’s not much in the film to support that interpretation (why did he wait until after she was killed to attack Silva and his men anyway?).
