Did you want to ?

-Though I know many responses will be, "...but she's just a little girl," I still think she needed to be firmly handled. By that I mean her mom should have had a talk with her explaining the danger they were in, That her father's anger was unhealthy. When they went underground, the mother definitely should've expressed how important it was to be discreet and careful or lots of people would get in trouble! Granted she didn't understand all that was happening but even small children can pick up when something isn't right, especially when the other parent is being abused or hurt. I grew up in a household where my father was abusive only to my mom and I adored my father because he was very loving to me. BUT I recognized when my mom was hurt and I didn't adore him at those times. In fact, I was protective, for as much as I could be.

-Also seeing her brother being abused should've scared the little girl to where she would've been less protective of her father. I cringed when she told her mom, "you hurt Daddy!"

-This is one moment where I thought the mom should've left the child with the father but he probably would've starting abusing her and regardless of the child's knowledge, they must always be protected.

**I can please only 1 person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn’t looking good, either!**

Definitely! What a brat! If she'd listened to her brother the entire initial incident would have been avoided. Of course, then there wouldn't have been a movie, haha. If she'd listened to her mother their safe house wouldn't have been exposed. That "you hurt daddy" remark was ridiculous. What child who'd just seen her brother beaten isn't going to be frightened by her father? So completely annoying in the beginning.

Thankfully, as the movie went on, she was a more sympathetic character. I feel like the writers went out of their way to create a group of unlikeable characters, or else they are simply clueless.

YES
I would have told her and meant it that the next time she disobeyed and got them in trouble, she would be left behind
It was hard to gauge her age because the actress's age isn't included in her IMdB profile, but she looked old enough to be told firmly and be able to understand

Her actions set up the situation that got that father killed
That should have been strongly explained to her

I only caught the 2nd half, so how was the father abusing the son?
I saw him shove the mother

You just don't know, until you know....

OMG, that little girl was incorrigible! I couldn't believe that the mother NEVER disciplined her. She caused the death of one of the fathers in hiding, got them in trouble by acting up all the way through the story.

I assumed she must be related to a producer of the film. I can't believe her part as written that way. Although the mother was not the brightest bulb in the room. I found it very hard to sympathize with them. I kept wondering if the father really abused the son. How could you take that mother's word?

Why Ray Liotta chose this film, I don't know. What an aggravating mess to watch.

Absolutely. She was a total brat, not cute to me at all.
