Why in the world would she grab for that knife. I know the one guy was a little aggressive, but his buddy calmed him down and got him to refocus. These guys were gonna take the money and get out. Instead she got her mother killed.
shareand almost herself as well. I suppose she felt violated and had trouble controlling herself. Yes it was a dumb move, but if she played it cool then her and mom would've simply been tied up and Bruce Willis would not have become a vigilante out for revenge, hence the movie would not have continued.
shareShe was trying to defend herself and her mother... To resist these intruders...
Did you want her just to stay there passively... Wait passively until they robbed the place... Lay down passively as they raped both her and her mother.... and then die passively as they shoot her and her mother in order not to leave witnesses?
She's a red-blooded woman, of course she will resist...
The one robber made it clear rape was not on the menu. She heard him. They were going to tie them up and leave with the loot, ASAP.
