- The Iceman reveal is disputed as a twist and criticized for contradicting his help in the original; the suggestion he became Iceman later is countered.
- The missing footage might explain the plot but might also make the movie slower.
- Reggie’s limited injury after a close-range shot is implausible, and the repeated vest references seem to promise a payoff that never arrives.
- Reggie shoots a man in the knee immediately after release without apparent consequences.
- The hotel clerk runs into an active gunfight to complain about noise.
- Gunfire ignores realistic ammunition limits; modern action’s visible reloading is the contrast.
- The morgue identification appears to skip hours without a transition; a removed house scene is recalled.
- The misconduct proceeding happens implausibly quickly.
- Jack’s reduced racism is debated in relation to sobriety and the original apology; abandoning Reggie complicates his improvement.
- Cherry is mocked as an unlikely villain nickname, before Richard is supplied as his actual name.
