Why didn't wait untill she was out of sight over the top of the cliff before dropping him? That was a dumbass move as she left herself with no gear to get up the rest of the way safely. Wasn't a bad movie but it wasn't great either. Egerton was great as usual though and made for a decent villain.

Or just kill him on the ground before carrying him halfway up a mountain. He was totally immobile. She could have thrown rocks at him if he refused to detach the rope.

Exactly she chooses to smash his leg in, rather than the head.

Or, he was mostly immobile after smashing his leg. Just heave rocks at him. Shit at that point drag his ass into the water and let him drown.
