Frankly Haley's tactic is smart, in character, and delivered well - but it is not exactly badass.
I mean really can you see that Movie Action Hero/Heroine who is a legitimate ass kicker, is in the fight of his/her life and ... talks the enemy down, than walks with them back to their base and watches as they pick a fight with a (likely still) much stronger character.
I can still see this backfiring on Haley - which also does not detract from her getting out of the situation in the first place.
