Corrected entry: At the close of the film, the David and his friends cannot break through the windows of the house because they are a special reinforced type. However upstairs, when one of the bad guys is trying to get into a bedroom window, Nicole takes an umbrella and easilly shoves it through a regular window, breaking it, and injuring the bad guy. Clearly Steve would have had reinforced windows throughout the entire house, wouldn't he?

Correction: Maybe he ran out of money, or time, or the installer ripped him off, or the job was still underway, or he thought the upper windows didn't need doing.

Corrected entry: When David hits Nicole by accident he hits her across the right eye. Then the next day the bruise is on her left.

Correction: That is because she is looking in a mirror when they show the bruise the next day.

Corrected entry: In the car chase between David and Margo, there is an oncoming car which forces David's car off the road. If Margo is terrified of David, why too does she pull over and stop? The oncoming car was not in her lane and she did not have to avoid it in any way.

Correction: She moved because David was going to hit the oncoming car and she didnt want the person in the car to get hurt because of her.

Corrected entry: When the girl and her brother are playing the games console and her friend walks in. She leaves her brother but it was a two player game and both sides are still fighting, instead of one.

Correction: The reason the game continues fighting after Nicole gets up is because her little brother switches her controller off. This then makes it a one player game.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Nicole is in the car with her dad she makes a reference to the song that is being played as being James Taylor, when it is really is an Allman Brothers song.

Correction: She is talking about not wanting to go see James Taylor again, like they were scheduled to do so that night. Even though Allman Bros. is on the radio, she is referring to the concert they are scheduled to see, not the song on the radio.

Continuity mistake: When William Petersen is on a cordless phone at work, he says "the guy gives me the creeps and the girl is my daughter." As he does, the phone cord appears, and the phone's position changes as he hangs it up.

Question: What were David and his friends doing with the dogs? What was their crime?

Answer: Not enough information was revealed in the short scene to make any conclusions and there was no concrete evidence that a (dog-related) crime was being committed. There was not even any indication that a dog was present. One might GUESS that David and his friends prepared dogs for illegal dog-fighting or trained dogs to be dangerous, aggressive watch (or "attack") dogs, but there is no proof. "We're here to see a man about a dog" may sound suspicious or shady, but could mean something as innocent as looking for a lost pet. [00:38:36]. There is a second "clue" much later in the movie when Mr. Walker is talking on the phone: "They're running their own cartel and you can't do a goddamn thing about it"? Mr. Walker probably saw some evidence when he broke into their house. While it might be assumed he means a drug cartel, not all cartels are drug-related. But, relating this scene to the earlier one, it appears "We're here to see a man about a dog" is the code for wanting to buy drugs. (The man who answered the door replied, "Does this look like a kennel?") David and his friends/gang appear to have been selling drugs out of their home. [01:15:55].
