That part is absolutely unbelievable after being raped she could running as if nothing had happened to her. No way. Even movement must be painful. Yes, women are strong but that part just seems unreal.
share6 miles on adrenalin was a bit unrealistic
shareKind of ties in with some of my observations.
shareShe was raped, not hit by a bus... Also, did you miss the part (spoilers) where she died, literaly, while escpaing?
shareI not missed it, but i'm talked about the moment right after the rape when she so quickly escaped. As if nothing happened with her body. Rape is awful experience both physically and emotionally. That why i think it was very unrealistic.
shareI thought it was just a flight or fight response... adrenaline and such...
shareObviously.
The girl has just been raped and was in fear of her life. Not unrealistic at all that she would be able to haul ass away from there.
Her running several miles through the snow barefoot is a much bigger issue.

I have mixed feelings about it. Lambert does make a very specific point about that run at the very end and what he considers to be the exceptional strength of the Native American spirit.
shareNo offense but unless you've been raped, I think it's impossible to say whether she was capable of it.
shareWhen she arrived, her boyfriend was impressed that she walked up to his trailer from some distant road. He even called her wonder woman or something to that effect. Renner character told the FBI lady to calculate how far a human could run under the given conditions but to triple it for Natalie. So we have to assume she was athletic and had a strong will.
shareShe had just watched her boyfriend murdered and was gang raped...she was running for her life.
Makes complete sense.
I assume you are not a woman from your comment, "Yes, women are strong but that part just seems unreal." Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not either, but the point I want to make is that scene was the trigger, the hook, if you will, for the whole rest of the movie. Whether she could have done that, made that run barefoot, is moot. I don't know, one way or another, but it was not unbelievable to me. She was terrified, and she was a very strong woman, as another poster said, and as Lambert (Jeremy Renner) said to to the scumbag who started the whole rape and beating to death of the boyfriend, referring to the girls five mile barefoot run in the snow, "That's a warrior, That's a warrior." Capping that last scene off was the frontier justice he meted out to the scumbag rapist, after knocking him out and eventually getting the guy to confess to the rape and murder. He gave him the same chance that Natalie had, and the guy didn't last but a few hundred yards. That wrapped up the movie nicely.
shareThere's only one way to test this...
shareYou need to delete this crap.....this is why IMDB removed their boards
shareI disagree I thought it made it more dramatic.
