Sorry, feeling hidden remorse for your actions without undergoing any demonstrable behaviourable does not garner my sympathy either. Even Alex's death doesn't seem to have changed him. Had he thought to himself 'Oh my ... this is what it feels like. I need to pack this lifestyle in', I'd find it a lot easier to feel properly sorry for him, but actually he's decided to take revenge by killing an innocent party.
It's admirably humane to feel sympathy for a murderer who's suddenly been made acutely aware of the emotional consequences of murder, but personally, I feel much sorrier for Alex.
