Once he accepts his fate, whether he considers it successful or failure on his part, his personality should change. He should be calm and calculating in that moment.



I don't think so. Somerset even comments earlier in the movie "It's impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions". It was expected for Mills to react poorly to seeing his wife's head in a box. I'm surprised he didn't shoot himself too.

Exactly. He has been feeding off his emotions because of the existence of his struggle.

Once the stuggle is over, the feeding off his emotions is over.

He is no longer fighing the wrath. He has accepted it, which should allow for clarity in his decision making, calmness in his demeanor, and calculation in his reaction.

He should have taken on a personality like Spacey's character in that scene. It would have warped the minds of Sommersett and Spacey. Their reactions to his this change would have been epic. Everything would have culminated over the entire course of 5 minutes or so instead of the last 2 seconds when he finally squeezes the trigger.
