Plot hole: It doesn't make sense for the prosecuting attorney to agree to accept a guilty plea from Danny for assaulting an officer, possession with intent to distribute, and resisting arrest with no accompanying guilty plea for at least a lesser-included offense of murder (such as voluntary manslaughter). A violent gang member committing an initiation murder while out on parole would be dealt with much more harshly, especially when the murder victim was a high-school-aged teenager and random victim.

This is a poorly written and acted "revenge" movie, full of violence and plot holes. The violent gang members are largely inept, shooting numerous times, missing their targets, and getting killed by an already-injured and re-injured (shot, beaten) William. In a gang initiation, Danny (Donnie's son and Rory's brother) apparently randomly select William's teenaged daughter Kat to kill in order to become "one of them." William is able to tackle Danny at the crime scene, but the also inept prosecuting attorney tells William that Danny is going to plead guilty to a few offenses (none murder-related) and receive 5-7 years. William, at Danny's hearing, tells the judge he cannot positively identify Danny as the attacker, obviously planning on taking the law into his own hands and killing him after he is released. (But Danny should not have been released if he was pleading guilty to other charges that involve assault on a police officer as well as violation of parole!) A battle between William and the gang members ensues. How many people will die before William gets the revenge he seeks? (A lot.) Besides all the ineptness, the movie doesn't offer anything unique. It reminds me of "A History of Violence", "Death Wish", and a number of similar revenge/vigilante movies. It just doesn't seem like a "new" movie because it is largely a repackaged versions of others.
