I know what you mean about Kayla, and I'm usually the first to complain about interchangeable females, but I thought she had a *little* more character than most, and if she was seducing him (even if she happened to also fall in love with him) it would make sense that she'd maybe be a little bit sweeter with him than she would otherwise, rather than take risks.
As for the shooting in the head thing - I hadn't thougth of that, but then, when he does actually get shot in the head its at point blank range, and several times. Maybe he can take some damage and sustain memory, but the plan in this case was to really shoot him a lot? But yeah, plot convenient brain damage makes little sense, although 'how to' memory and 'event memory' are stored in different ways by the brain, which is why most amnesia vistims can remember how to speak and do a variety of things, even though they don't remember anything about their lives and who they are.
I liked the nakedness, and the pay off of how he responds to the old couple dying, but I wasn't convinced by how thoroughly sweet, nice, and understanding they were... although I loved the bit with the sink!
