Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“People have asked, “Why do they go to a mall?” Look, they’ve got nowhere else to go. The government is watching everything that they own. This was just their choice of the best place they can escape from successfully, a Widow’s choice, really: put yourself in a public space where there’re a lot of people so you can just disappear into the crowd. It’d probably make Steve nervous, ‘cause that’s the last place he’d pick. He would choose a clear ground where there would be no civilians. We were hoping that would come through in a subtext as she sort of directs Steve out of the mall without incident. For her, this was never about punching her way out, this was ‘we’re gonna sneak right out under their noses’. Because they’re looking for Cap, they’re not looking for Cap and Widow at this point. They don’t know Widow is involved yet.”
