Domestic Abuse: Bunny’s boyfriend, Angelo, hits her for making fun of his ill-fitting suit. The truly disturbing thing about this scene is that right after it happens she smiles and insists that no, she does like his suit. Leo also doesn’t mind kicking Mary around. | |

Artistic License – Law: It's one of those Hollywood courtrooms where an interested party (Tom) can barge into the courtroom after the jury has delivered a guilty verdict, and get Mary a do-over on her murder trial. Lampshaded by the judge who calls Tom's motion "entirely proper". | |
