Trivia: Dave is a character from the Welcome Back Frank comics and has facial piercings in that issue. To be more comic accurate, actor Ben Foster got his face actually pierced IRL before filming his part. Some serious dedication to the role.
Trivia: The earrings that Howard Saint gives to his wife in the film were actually real earrings and not fake ones for the movie. They were actual real Harry Winston diamonds and apparently worth a million dollars, and were used as a prop on set.
Trivia: As Frank is holding his dead family in his arms on the dock, you can see that his thumb is looking kind of strange and grey, with his thumbnail being grey. This is because, not long before filming this scene, Frank's actor, Thomas Jane, got his thumb stuck in a door in real life, and it had not yet fully healed.
Answer: Jimmy is drowning in massive gambling debt and has had to resort to selling everything of value he owns as well as steal money from evidence lockers to help pay his debt down. He has nothing to live for and is merely going through the motions of life, and coupled with his guilt over selling out Frank and getting his family killed, Frank concludes Jimmy needs to take his fate in his own hands.
