Corrected entry: Sharon Stone is seen giving a news interview describing what her son was last seen wearing before he went missing. She describes him as wearing pants and a shirt. However, the last time that she saw him they were in an argument in the living room and he was in his underwear. He then ran upstairs, put his clothes on, climbed out the window and she never saw what he was wearing.

Correction: Most mothers that I have met know EXACTLY how many and what kind of clothes their children wear. She could easily determine what was missing and describe it.

Corrected entry: Johnny and others are seen smoking in bar. However, the California Smokefree Workplace law went into effect in 1998 for bars.

Correction: I've been in bars and truck stops in CA that still have smoking or smoking sections after 1998. The way they got around it was to have "smoking clubs" to which people would have to buy a membership, for $1 usually, and thereby they waived their right to sue for damages under the Smokefree Workplace act. Quite possibly Johnny and all are members of a similar club.

Question: There is something I don't get about the bad guys. Why would they kidnap a teenage boy?

Answer: If you're talking about why they kidnapped Zack, Zack is the younger brother of Jake. Jake still owed Johnny money, but when Johnny and his gang go look for Jake, they can't find him. They see Zack and kidnap him, essentially for ransom, until Jake fully pays Johnny back.

It's also important to remember that this is a film based on true events, the kidnapping and murder of Nicolas Markowitz. All the names in the film have been changed.

Why did they murder Nick?

Although this should be posted as a different question, in real life, Jesse (the one Nick's brother owed money to) had decided to let Nick go home. However, Jesse found out what kind of legal consequences he'd face for kidnapping Nick and decided to have Nick killed instead (obviously thinking he could get away with murder and deny any kidnapping allegations).
