The father-in-law shooting the guy's dog? C'mon. Most ridiculous occurrence in any film I've seen, including Hollywood's, in some time. But it was beaten a few minutes later by the father's almost nonchalance when his son starts a major fire in his sister's room. "Just go to bed, now." That's a response to almost burning down the house in the middle of the night?
Righto!
The "disappearance" of that book and the appearance of poison also was dumb. Cops aren't as stupid as the director seems to think viewers are: they wouldn't have imagined anything else occurred but some sort of guard chicanery.
