- Novian is a weak-link choice because the threat and assault never receive a satisfying follow-up; a darker revenge ending is imagined.
- After a joke targeting the child, the rival’s underused character is criticized; sabotage or betting against the hero would give him more purpose, while a short shooting schedule is only speculation.
- The ending’s marital reconciliation distracts from the gambling comeback and is another weak-link choice.
