Keeping in mind that a movie is only for "entertainment" and doesn't have to be "perfect" be worth watching:
This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen as far as keeping my interest, but after just watching 3 times in a row I have picked up on many things that I found to be "rediculous." I have read the other comments posted about this movie so I will try to be original.
First of all, I have been to Chicago and there are freeways everywhere! Even after they got off of the freeway they could have found one of many to get out of the bad side of town.
A possible goof, when they leave Franks house it is broad daylight then in the next shot with them driving on the highway it is dark. One may think that they had a bit of a drive to get to downtown Chicago, but later Frank says that they are only 10 minutes from home. The fight scene on the highway: It's that both, the man and the woman in the truck are saying "fu*k you" to Ray, but when they began to get out and fight the woman just sat in the truck and simply said "leave him alone." She barely even looked back. As they are driving through town (before hitting the kid) they pass several well lit streets, they continue down the dark road. After hitting the guy with the RV (even though Ray is a dipstick) they should have listened to him and got the hell out of there, especially when the gang jerks the kids out and starts arguing with him. Instead they keep looking out the back window to see what is going to happen to him. Duhh!! Fast forwarding to the end of the movie (since I don't have time to decipher the entire thing) it was odd when Frank was going into the office of the supermarket (after killing Fallon) and the police officer barges in with gun drawn and tells him to freeze. Frank tells him that "his friend and brother are upstairs bleeding to death," and the cop stands his ground. All of the sudden another officer who wasn't even in the room and couldn't have possibly heard Frank, comes in and says "it's alright, he's telling the truth!" Then all of the sudden the first officer lowers his gun and they go running out of the office. Come on, I am a Cincinnati Police Officer and there would be more to it than that!! Remember, don't break any of Fallon's stupid Rules!
Anyways, aside from the oddities mentioned, I loved the movie and found it to be very entertaining. I thought that Cuba Gooding's acting was by far the best of the cast and his facial expressions (even on background shots) were very convincing. Thats my ten cents. (Possible spoiler on movie titles Tresspass) If you like Judgement Night, check out Tresspass with Ice T. Another movie that has innocent everyday guys caught in the bad part of town by thugs.
