Didn't Maintain My Suspension Of Disbelief

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this film to the end but it didn't fit together. The story did not maintain my suspension of disbelief. A man loses his son in a presumed tragic accident and he is heart broken but within a year he is living in a squalid house that has not been maintained for 20 years. He has no income, rarely showers or shaves and yet manages to have a drop dead gorgeous partner who is happy to stay at his squat of a house. You would not take a bin bag into your house and open in your bath. You would not chase a gang of youths down the street in the middle of the night because they were knocking on your door. You would not kidnap a young lad and then kill him by injecting him with heroin. It is too much of a coincidence that the lad who he kills was present when his son died. The newspaper character was so poorly acted. It was an interesting concept and could have been done better. Work needed to be done in character development to ensure you believed why the characters took the action that they did.
