Mark Wahlberg is a special operator in the Overwatch program (that doesn't exist of course). He is the best at what he does, and is a product of personal trauma at a young age, so everyone is worried if he will go over the edge. His current assignment is to deliver a defector from a South American country to an extraction plane while every hired gun in the country is trying to stop him. Sometimes filmmakers drop hints throughout a storyline so that afterwards you say "wow, I should have seen that coming but I didn't... cool". Other times, they openly foreshadow so that you can see what is coming and enjoy the development, as an insider for the reveal to the characters. The problem in this case is that we aren't sure which it is. The story plays out, and the big surprise at the end is revealed, as if it should be a big surprise. But it isn't, and it isn't slowly revealed intentionally for me to gain the satisfaction of knowing more than the character.
