some questions I have

When Sardo meets Jarrell at the airport why doesn't he just take the dagger from him? Jarrell threatens him saying it would be taken into police custody but for someone like Sardo the police shouldn't be much of a threat.

Why didn't Sardo starve/suffocate the kid? The kid was shown eating leaves so he must need sustenance of some kind.

Why was Jarrell left alive after Kee was shot with an arrow?

Why doesn't Sardo kill Jarrell in his dreams?

Why didn't Sardo force feed the child blood?

When the devil tells Sardo to get the dagger Sardo says that it is so well guarded then the devil says to exchange the child for it. At the beginning of the movie Sardo and his minions had no trouble getting the child so why should they have trouble getting the dagger?

Why did Sardo kill Tommy Tong but leave Jarrell and Kee alive?

Why did Sardo need to go through the trouble of having bikers kidnap children if he could easily do it himself?

Why didn't Sardo teleport before Jarrell could stab him with the dagger?

I cxan't answer every question because I did not write the movie, but I think:

Sardo WAS trying to starve the child to force him to eat blood. I image the little leaves are something to keep the child going without food.

Sardo didn't kill Jarrell in the dream because the whole thing was a warning.

Jarrell was left alive because Sardo had the knife and did not think Jarrell was worth worrying about any further.

I don't think Sardo or anyone could force feed the child. They couldn't even allow the child to touch them! Also it doesn't force feeding carry the same weight as the child yielding to pressure and allowing himself to be fouled by eating something impure (like blood from a human sacrifice).

Why did Sardo hire the bikers to kidnap children? = delegate, delegate, delegate.

Sardo killed Tommy who knew too much and left Jarrell and Kee alive simply because he understimated them.

I think poor Sardo didn't teleport during the fight because by then he was thoroughly po'ed and in the midst of his anger he made a critical mistake.

My two cent's worth.
