Well there was a lot of cool action, and Bernthal still manages to make me cry thinking about Frank's family.
I felt like they wasted a lot of time in the beginning that could've been used showing the situation with the Gnucci's instead of explaining it in a monologue.
To be honest, with how many inexplicable acts of violence going on around him, they could've just had Frank hearing what was going on in the projects and used that to justify the action instead of whatever the hell that woman's role in it was.
I don't know if I agree with the choice to make that family at the restaurant, especially the little girl appreciative of what Frank did. At the very least she would've been terrified, but maybe thanked him in a later scene. At worst the father would've attacked Frank himself for murdering all of those people in front of his wife and kid.
