- The staged kidnapping is rejected as an absurd risk to one’s child, especially with armed Creasy guarding her.
- Leaving Creasy alive in hospital is questioned.
- The lawyer’s 25 percent fee is questioned.
- Creasy surviving four shots and continually bleeding during recovery seems implausible to the hosts.
- Torture victims retaining enough blood after severed fingers or a shot-off hand seems implausible to the hosts.
- The investigation’s steps are hard to follow even on repeated viewings.
- A deleted scene reportedly shows Samuel beheading the lawyer.
- Creasy locating a secret network so soon after intensive care seems too easy.

- Why does Lisa accompany business trips during the kidnapping crisis instead of staying with Pita? — Craig Horlbeck
