After they knew who the mole was and arrived at the president, they recognized that another heavily armed assassin was waiting above the stairs.
Uhm:
Why didn't they simply return and get back in the corridors and outside the building? One or two could keep the assassin in check while the others protect the president during their escape.
Ha ha, i thought the exact same thing, why not go back the way they came in... even before spotting the enemy..
sharebecause
a) the film was stupid
b) and they had to pull off some fancy military like skills. its like watching a western movie that HAS to have kungfu for the sake of it.
lol, i mean its not a video game, the cover of shadows shouldn't work that well..in real life you can sense a hint of movement in the shadows easy...i would've melted the stairway full of bullets
also were the baddies trained shooters? i mean the instant the secret service stuck out a head to set them up for the trick, it should've been instant HS
(NOTE: if teenage kids in counterstrike could own people the INSTANT they see them, and even to the point they add recoil the the mix, i'm sure the trained baddies should shot them immediately)
