Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when Preston enters the father's room, he first checks for the presence of guards before proceeding. But after a few steps, guards appear from behind every room's column. Given Preston's starting position, it would have been impossible for him to not spot the two guards hidden behind the two columns flanking the door, as both of them were hiding on the same side as Preston himself. Otherwise, they would have been visible to the viewer, given the fact that the camera angle is facing Preston. In other words, it is impossible for those two guards to be hiding both from Preston and from the viewer's point of view.

Correction: Preston saw the guards. He expected guards. He knew he could handle the guards. He didn't proceed into the room because he mistakenly thought the coast was clear, he proceeded because he was not intimidated.

This doesn't make sense. If he was not intimidated at all, then why stop and visually search for threats for several seconds? The most logical explanation is just that the director wanted us to think the soldiers were hiding from Preston's view, with the issue being they couldn't hide from OUR view at the same time. This correction is not justified.
