The train attack.....

I found this scene to be very unbelievable. Are we really expected to believe Raisa was able to fend off that huge Russian barreling down upon them with such ferocious momentum and an equally huge blade ? Not to mention two other assailants joining the attack before Leo finally responds ? And they miraculously dispatch all three and then jump off a moving train although appearing to be completely exhausted. Where did this superhuman energy come from when they were on the run,already physically beat down, deprived of normal sustenance and rest?

Yeah!

Felt the same way when Captain American jumped out of that 40-story building, landed on his shield, AND got up and ran away.

And, don't get me started on James Bond!

But, I guess that why they call it the suspension-of-disbelief.

Adrenaline coupled with a survival instinct can do wonders. As well the will to live. Raisa was battling for Leo, herself and the two of them collectively. She was not going to let them finish the job. Leo was nowhere near 100% follow the intense interrogation. Raisa was the driving force that enabled them to continue to survive and forge ahead. Leo and Raisa were not going to die on that train.

Yeah.

Wouldn't be the first time a mere mortal has displayed their inner “Hulk”; we hear about it all the time.

True Story:

Brother in a car accident. Sister called to hospital. Sister arrives; doctor comes out and tells sister, brother died.

Sister (20-something, and according to my aunt, NOT a big girl) goes batcrap. She fights her way into ER, slinging aside doctors, nurses and whoever else got in her way. All the while she is screaming her brother’s name at the top of her lungs: David! David! David! David! David! David! David! David!

David answers: What!? (in an annoyed voice—the kind people use when you wake them from a deep sleep).

Of course, THEN, everyone started scrambling like mad to save him.

I met David years later; he was near my father's age then; and the accident had happened when he was a young man. I don’t know why I was so star-struck; but I was.

Cartoon characters are indestructible, the fake Russian accents made them appear like Boris Badenov and Natasha kicking Bullwinkle's ass.

It's Noomi Rapace. She'll kick anyone's ass!

I know how you feel, Mister. I hate it when my igneous rocks are even touched!

Got to admit she was very believably badass in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo !

She was quite scrappy. Going for the guy's eyeballs...that's exactly what I'd do.
