- The smell of dozens of concealed bodies is an early nitpick, with tight packaging and drywall offered as uncertain explanations.
- Nitpicks question Ted’s plan after killing an FBI agent and his carrying the distinctive cartel money band, with police connections and poor judgment offered as explanations. — Chris Ryan
- The opening gunman missing Kate at close range is a nitpick; confusion with the later crossing shot is corrected.
- Ordering unspecified beers is a nitpick, followed by speculative discussion of Kate’s drink preferences. — Bill Simmons
- Smoking immediately after strangulation is a nitpick, countered by a smoker’s desire for a cigarette after any stressful event.
- Kate trying to arrest Alejandro and the coerced signature are nitpicked: she could later disclose duress, while the document might incriminate her; Graver letting her leave and the possibility of forgery are questioned. — Bill Simmons
- Ted’s reliance on Reggie introducing him is questioned; a longer-term seduction plan is offered as a possible explanation. — Bill Simmons
- Alejandro finding the right car, Silvio and Manuel is questioned, with intelligence and timing offered as partial explanations; arriving exactly at dinner prompts jokes. — Chris Ryan
- Graver’s selective candor is criticized as serving the script rather than his own interests. — Sean Fennessey
