To this day Maria Bello's death is still one of the most horrifying, sucker-punch death's of any film I've seen. Maria Bello brought a lot of heart to that character, which is why it was so horrible to see her die.
shareJust saw this film for the first time today and I agree 100%. It shocked and horrified me and will stick in my mind for a long time.
shareI agree. I expected her to live and Drea De Matteo to die. Wow!
shareCompletely agreed. I honestly was expecting her to live too (I figured Iris/Drea de Matteo would die instead)

Biggest WTF/no way death ever besides Godzilla 2014.

I think so too. I was sure she was gonna survive and hook up with Hawke. Regular action stuff
I am Tigro, bow down to my greatness.
A great death scene, I was very surprised too.
It takes some guts to put a bullet in Bello's head.
The shock value matches some of the most shocking deaths of GoT.
Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down and a Wagging Finger of Shame
I have to agree with you; I was certain this would follow 'action movie rules' and have her together with Roenick at the end.
shareNope. The cheap and idiotic scene when they both are yelling "We made it! We made it!" in that car makes it clear that they both will die. And they deserve to die just for contrubuting to the sheer stupidity of that scene. WTF, director? What is a dumb scene from some kiddie movie doing in a violent 2005 shooter? Is this supposed to be a joke?
shareI didn't care for it either. Just another body for the pile.
