<p dir="auto">At that scene, Emerson (the black guy) was hiding behind Helen, with 95% of his body covered, one hand pointing a gun at Helen, and another hand point a gun at the door, his WHOLE FACE was behind Helen, the camera showed that he stares at the door through the hair around Helen's neck.<br />
So here are the things didn't make sense to me, 1. the only exposed body parts of Emerson are his both arms and hands, not possible to be one-shot to death. So where did Emerson got shot?<br />
2. Jack entered the room and fired without much aiming, and not knowing the situation (that Emerson is behind Helen, nor how they are positioned in the room), how can he decide where to shoot that quickly?<br />
3. by the time Jack turn his body to enter the room and fire, Emerson could have pulled trigger and killed Helen, the scene shows that he indeed fired one weapon, but how could he possibly miss shooting at the door? And why didn't he fire both weapons?<br />
This scene of Jack killing Emerson was just too easy.</p>

<p dir="auto">I thought the shot of him peering through the gap left by Pike's arm &amp; side just before Cruise came in suggested that he must have been shot in the head. No other visible area.<br />
I don't mind a bit of artistic license, &amp; by that time there'd been so many bone-crunches &amp; bullets that I was quite relieved of his summary execution. Obvious it was going to happen like that too.</p>

<p dir="auto">Movies are cool like that, let it awe you, please you, like a kid owning  a helium balloon for the first time, instead of an analyst.  It might make you come out better in the end.<br />
