Also, his kid was found all dressed up, sitting at a table like Weekend at Bernies. And we are supposed to believe the sum total of the investigation was he died of a heroin overdose? No one thought the circumstances were suspicious? Oh, and they had the toxicology results almost immediately, when they usually take weeks, and that seemed to be the sum total of the investigation.



After all that in the first 20 minutes I figured the rest of the movie was going to continue along this path of disastrous writing, and I didn't want to put my wife through all my vocal eye rolling, so we put on The Irishman instead.

Fair enough. Not sure when it's mentioned, but:

Spoiler!

It's explained as a deliberate and rushed cover up. Hence the quick burial and falsified reports. It all happens in the span of a couple days. The remainder of the film is Neeson working his way up the ladder of a criminal conspiracy.

The whole film is exaggerated for the intended tone, which I enjoyed. But to each their own.
