Been awhile since I saw it but I remember SEVERAL neighbors visiting at the road and several other instances early in the hostage situation development when the bad guys were separated from each other with man and wife, though under observation, free in and around the house to make a challenge to their captivity. The injury to the leg - was it truly broken(?)...certainly not "smashed" 'cause he was still waking around on it - came somewhat after clear intentions of the bad guys were known.

Either of the couple walked past or around numerous objects which could have been used to strike or distract the badies early on.

I felt the man and wife were unusually submissive to the intrusion. Polite. The bad guys were musta weighed...what, all of 145 lbs. for the wiry one and 170 for the softy-bodied bigger one. They were hardly examples of the manly European men you touted recently

Maybe it's a cultural thing for the couple to oh-so-meekly point out misbehavior rather than acting in logical defense of themselves. They mounted NONE.

I can't imagine letting one of those pipsqueaks get past their early smartypants remarks in my house. All it takes is an unexpected thumb in the eye socket. Nobody is going to continue bad behavior with his eyeball hanging on his cheek. Nobody.

Maybe it's just me - 200 lbs. with a Boy Scout background (snicker) - but I saw plenty of chances to smashmouth the bad guys long before they gained greater control. I actually became disgustedly amused at the early falsity of the situation.
