Domingo absolutely understood the assignment when it came to portraying his frightening Zola character. I was almost as shocked as Zola is when his character, X, switches from an American accent to a Nigerian one when threatened. It truly shows that Zola has no idea who she is dealing with, and that if she wants to survive the weekend, she has to do what he says.
The circumstances he puts Zola, Stefani, and even, to an extent, his fiancée and Derrek in, are wildly dangerous with extremely high stakes. Am I glad that he was able to get Stefani away from Derrek's magic Tampa friend? Yes, because Zola does not deserve that sh*t. His laissez-faire attitude also brings about a few of the film's more memorable quotes, including the "delusions of gander" Derrek's Tampa buddy has as he begins trying to intimidate X.
