** Miles waits a whole ''ten seconds'' before leaving his hiding place in Robert's home. However, the movie is at least nice enough to indicate the bad guys were fairly certain someone was in the place behind a hidden wall, so there is a chance that had he waited an appropriate amount of time before leaving, then they still would've kidnapped him anyway. That being said, the kid seriously should have waited longer before coming out of the hiding spot.

* JustifiedCriminal: Discussed and subverted in regards to Miles nearly joining a gang. Miles argues that, besides wanting to get revenge on a separate gang for killing his brother, his current talents aren't going to put food on the table for his mother. Robert proceeds to dissuade Miles by making him realize that he isn't nearly cold blooded enough to actually take a life or put his own on the line.
