- Raymond's fights and erratic behavior receive no apparent supervision.
- Arrocas already owns a Malibu home, making the urgency of murdering his parents for business control difficult to understand; elapsed time is unclear.
- Penny could let the phone ring during sex; the counterargument is that an unanswered call might make her husband suspicious or bring him home.
- Murdering his parents seems an extreme business solution for Arrocas, though Tova may be driving the scheme.
- Eight children with another on the way seems excessive for Peck's age, though starting young offers an explanation.
- Criminal contacts instantly know details of a secret shooting despite only a few participants knowing the plan, an unexplained genre convention.
