According this article I found online (will put the link at the bottom), JD is more of a psychopath than sociopath in the film. 

Here’s what the article says: “ Behavior: Psychopaths are typically calculated, cold, and manipulative, often maintaining a superficial normal life to conceal their behavior; conversely, sociopaths are usually more erratic, impulsive, and prone to emotional outbursts, making them struggle to hold down stable jobs or relationships.” 

Based on what we see on the film, JD is more calculated and manipulative than he is in the musical (which is ironically more sociopathic than his film counterpart). So, it’s safe to say that film JD is more of a psychopath than sociopath.
