14. Jesus as your *savor* Really?
15. Sweater appearing on Ben after he answers the phone, when he clearly couldn't put in on.
16. Tammy wanting to kill her husband and then just went off
17. *Another man*? Really, wasn't she supposed to be a woman?
18. Tammy NEVER gave divorce to Ben? How on Erath could he marry Arthur?
19. Male NURSES are usually known as MEDICS. One doing the job should know
20. Anti-gay spray?
21. How could Arthur know what was in the spray?
22. Who the f! is that neighbor/customer/whatever and why does she own the garage?
23. Their bike is missing and we never saw it excisting
24. Why does a waiter quit his job only cause a customer wanted some sugar?
25. If Vermont *did* have legalized gay marriage before Hawaii, then why not go there before?
26. The part when brothers around 30, who would have been in their 20s 7 years ago, don't even recognize each other, so they have to assure the other one is who he say he is.
27. The lawyer is called a *he*, but in the next scene, we clearly see it's a *she*
28. Thinking that this movie has helped gay marriage in any way
29. Critics that give this 'film' 2 or more stars. On what base?
30. ''You need prayed upon''
31. Dying microphone
32. Arthur obviously rang 4 digit number to call 911
33. NOBODY dances *that* bad, if he wants to work in the club
34. Cop asks Victor's acquaintance directly is Victor the killer after a minute of questioning him.
35. Picking a lock with a paper clip
36. Picking a lock *after* taking off one's glasses??
37. Victor looks like he wants to do his own brother, and not *cure* him
38. So, Victor killed a guy when he was a kid, but we only find out about that casually by the way in the smalltalk?
39. So, he confessed the murder and another attempt and lets Arthur *leave*?
40. *When* did Arthur have an access to Victor's phone to set a wire?
41. Father Aden/Raven/Adrian? He pronounces it differently each time. Oh, wait, it's RABIN, like in Rabbi?? Wtf
42. Are we supposed to believe that priest knows mafia, but is so gullible at the same time to give adresses to a complete stranger?
43. Why on Earth knocking him unconscious *after* he's given-up the adress?
44. So, Arthur is a cold blooded killer too? At which point did he decided that and why?
45. We see Christmas tree, a calender that says 18. January and Happy Halloween poster
46. 'Way, way' is not the way to pronunce 'Wait'
47. In different frames, we see film being shot in differently sorted flat, which is supposed to be one and the same
48. What exactly was wrong with Ben? When he was acttacked, he had blood on his face, but later, his face is fine, he's just leamping.
49. Why is Ben bleached blonde on the poster and never during the film?
50. Arthur could apparently hear the doorbell when showering, but not two loud gunshots?
51. I'm assuming that Ben's death was supposed to be sad. It was not.
52. Sam's 'acting' when widowed
53. Ben and Arthur seam to be living in an appartment complex, but none of the neighbors hears the shots being fired next to an open door.
54. So, a hardcore church fanatic believes that one can be baptized through an ordinary, shower water...
55. Why does Arthur also have gun in his drawer, but doesn't decide to use it when killing the priest?
56. Arthur thinks that his own brother is attracted to him? I don't weather it's worse if he's right or wrong!!
57. Gun makes smoke like a locomotive after one shot
58. So, Victor gets shot in the shoulder, but a second after, his hand is clearly good, not bleeding at all, and fully mobile to grab a gun.
59. We do not need to see Arthur's naked ass and touching himself, especially not in front of his brother.
60. Where is Ben's body after he's been shot?
61. Mraovich clearly never heard of ending with camera moving away or having and epilogue sequence. It's just clear cut.
62. The only thing that is good about this movie is that next to it, all other films seam better.
63. It's simply the lowest of the low in 'filmmaking'.



I'm sure you guys can add much more...
