Plot hole: Mike carried Sophie into the hospital and walked through the halls yelling, "I need a doctor" until he ran into Sophie's Dr. Thomas. Sophie was put on a cot and rolled into a room where Dr. Thomas immediately began examining her. Mike completely by-passed registration, triage, etc, which wouldn't be tolerated at an emergency room. Emergency rooms are highly likely/almost always back-logged with patients, many with urgent conditions yet still might wait hours to be seen by a doctor or nurse. (00:06:45 - 00:07:20)

Plot hole: Social Services requires even emergency placements to be approved. A child (9-year-old Tulsa) who had never seen her father (but "just knew" the man in the photo with her mother was her biological father) would not be allowed to stay with a man who did not even know he had a daughter. Social Services would not assume the child was correct or leave the child with a non-approved "stranger." Tommy's apartment - trashed and scattered with beer cans and bottles of alcohol - would be a big red flag. (00:03:55 - 00:12:00)

Plot hole: The time-line and calendar of events are flawed. Nate (dad) stated Eric will be leaving for college "at the end of next week." Rose saw a portion of Eric's calendar: "17 Orientation [Monday] and 23 First day of school [oddly on a Sunday]." Eric received a cell phone message dated Saturday August 15 asking if he was coming to the party, which he went to. Eric had a full academic and sport (football) scholarship - he should have already been at the University weeks earlier for training. (00:19:20 - 00:32:35)

Plot hole: On Christmas morning, Karen went to the grocery store (open on Christmas!) where she donated $5,000 via credit card to the "Homeless Mother Shelter." Hours later, the $5,000 already showed up on Chris' laptop as deposited into the shelter's account. It takes days, not hours, for credit card transactions to be processed - especially if the transaction occurs on a holiday. (01:14:10 - 01:23:20)

Plot hole: Tony said, "If Danny beat him [Kevin] any more, he would have never lived" and Kevin spent a month recovering in the hospital. Tony and Danny were "advised to take a plea" and agreed to 10-25 years in prison. When Kevin went to the correctional facility to "forgive them in person", Kevin said, "We never properly met. I was in the hospital during your trial." Guilty pleas do not result in a trial and a felony criminal case would not be resolved within 30 days of the commission of the crime. (00:44:50 - 00:49:06)

Plot hole: Lamar was a star basketball player who didn't pay attention in Jim's English Literature class (and wasn't "good in English") but needed to pass to continue playing. Lamar told Jim, "I've had four courses with you" and "I'm a Junior." Whether this was Lamar's 4th or 5th English course, neither make sense. A fourth course would equal 12 credits - enough to be Lamar's' declared major (unlikely) - and most students don't enroll in the same professor's courses when they don't do well ("easy A"). (00:43:56 - 00:46:40)

Plot hole: Derek, who escaped the mental hospital by pretending to be his twin brother Tyler, was able to locate Tyler's vehicle by using the keys to beep its horn. Once inside the SUV, he apparently found Tyler's cell phone, which is odd because most people carry their cell phones with them. But Derek did not ask Tyler for his cell phone's password before rendering him unconscious - so how did he gain access to the cell phone without the password? (It isn't likely that Tyler previously gave it to him). (00:20:40)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Kyle got a flat tire and there was no cell phone reception to call for help, so he and Julia decided to walk to the Ghost Town. However, almost all vehicles - especially a relatively new SUV like Kyle's - have a spare tire. Kyle surely had a spare and could have at least tried to change the tire himself. (When Kyle saw his damaged tire, he complained that it was a $300 loss, not that he did not have a spare tire with him). (00:04:55)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: The judge was reading from a newspaper that had "New York" and 2015 on the last page, suggesting this is the movie's setting. The article states, " The murderer of the Jeeter girl was executed this morning..." (six years after his conviction in 2009). New York's death penalty was ruled unconstitutional in 2004 and 2007 and is considered abolished. (Although the law remains on the book, it cannot be implemented until/unless it is revised/ rewritten to be constitutional). (00:16:11 - 00:33:28)

Plot hole: The prosecuting attorney told William, "We've got no video, no photos, no eyewitness except you" and, "Your biggest problem is there is no gun... This case is so paper thin the judge's probably gonna throw it out, and Danny Fetter is gonna be back on the streets... Basically, it's your word against him." William correctly replied, "That's bullshit..." There would still be enough circumstantial evidence (e.g, gunpowder residue, offender placed at the crime scene) to acquire a conviction. (00:10:03 - 00:10:45)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: After William told the judge he could not identify the attacker at Kat's murder scene, the judge said, "Mr. Fetter, you are free to go. Case dismissed." The police officer who was assaulted by Danny and other officers should have been present and able to positively ID Danny. Even IF the murder charge could not stick, the other pending charges (assault, possession with intent to deliver, resisting arrest) could still be prosecuted/pled. There was no legitimate reason to let Danny go free. (00:11:10 - 00:11:47)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: The prosecuting attorney told William "this case [murder of Kat] is so paper thin the judge's probably gonna throw it out" but William could try to convince the D.A. to take it to trial. In addition to circumstantial evidence against Danny and his pending charges (resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, possession with intent to deliver, and parole violations), the random, unprovoked, senseless murder of a teenaged girl would be high profile - such cases are most likely to be prosecuted. (00:09:34 - 00:10:36)

KeyZOid

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. (00:09:34)

Plot hole: Ma rolling Jack in the rug (to pretend he was dead and then could escape from the truck when being taken away) would have suffocated him. She even put his hands over his mouth before rolling him up in the rug. (00:42:10 - 00:43:15)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Lea has a criminal record, which includes theft. Lea told Casi, "You know how hard it is to live with a rap sheet hanging over you? How hard I had to hustle to even get a shit job at the tow pound?" Later, Casi made a reference to "most thieves" and Lea responded she's "not like most thieves." The tow pound is operated by the NYPD, so it is extremely unlikely that Lea would have been hired given her theft record, especially for a position that handles money/cash. (00:19:45 - 00:35:25)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Mike was given a conditional release from prison (on parole) and could be returned to prison if he violated the conditions of parole. Associating with known criminals, taking/ selling illegal drugs, domestic violence or other problems would constitute a violation. Mike assaulted and threatened Dahlia - more than enough "bad behavior" to get his parole revoked. Neither Dahlia nor Parker thought to report Mike to his parole officer. Instead, they fled and hid from him, staying in fear. (00:13:15 - 00:45:50)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Henry was having headaches and blurred vision, which he attributed to stress. He told the doctor he never considered a brain tumor. Henry started planning how to protect Christina but a sudden severe seizure was an emergency that resulted in surgery and hospitalization; Henry never returned home, but was writing in his red book at the hospital. The tape recorder with step-by-step instructions for his mother was in the safe - if he didn't know he was gravely ill, he wouldn't have prepared it.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Calvin's mom told him to go to school and "the school called and said you only been showing up for lunch." In the street, Calvin yelled, "Everybody, I'm going back to school. I'm going back." Calvin was not interested in school, so it is highly unlikely that he would be planning on going to college. There was little or no reason for him to take the 2-hour? PSAT or SAT. (00:04:41 - 00:06:47)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Glenn's brother George and/or other relatives (Grandparents?) would question the validity of the document Glenn signed for Susan to get permanent legal guardianship of Christina. Also, a Director of Social Services (George) would request an investigation into Susan's background to ascertain if she is suitable to be Christina's legal guardian. A single (inept?) mother of one (or two), with a yearly income around $31K and a history of drinking alcohol to excess would raise red flags.

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Genius Henry amassed $680K plus "more" in stocks and bonds. The amount seems way too high for an 11-year-old, who undoubtedly didn't start investing as a toddler. Throw in the adage "you have to have money to make money" and the figure is unrealistic. Even IF Susan earned $15 per hour minimum wage (tips included) waitressing at a quaint Hildebrandt's soda shop, $31,200 annually before taxes doesn't go far for a family of three in NY. Would there be ANY discretionary income for Henry to use?
