Reviews talking about ending


There's at least 8 reviews on this movie that are defending the ending. I didn't have as much a problem with the end as some, but they were all out of character at that point.. Cage turns into a cold blooded killer all of a sudden, and woods all of a sudden illogical. They went on to Rob the place, they were in way too deep at that point, they had to just go thru with it. Leaving everything as is wouldn't cut it, they would have still been hunted

First, they didn't "rob" the place. A robbery involves stealing from a person who present. You can rob a store, if an employee or owner is there. If you break in when no one is there, it's a burglary.
Ok, Cage was psycho all along. Remember him murdering a guy before the ending?

Where did you get that screwy idea of a robbery? By almost universal agreement, a robbery is "the action of robbing a person or place.".

Robbery is taking by "force or fear". There has to be violence or threat of violence. If you take someone's stuff when they're not there, it's burglary (or larceny) like the other poster says. That's what the word means.

Having said that, in this case, there is violence and threat towards the people upstairs and they were clearly connected to the vault in some way. *That's* what makes it robbery.
