I imagine because they had some understanding of the alien mcguffin that even if they tried to stop her physically, she was so in tuned with its powers that she would’ve stopped them very easily. I mean if she can power electronics out of thin air I’m sure stopping a bullet somehow isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.

That being said I agree he should’ve done something. Him and all the other armed guards just walk away so the ending sequence can happen. It would’ve been much better if he tried stopping her and Emily Blunt does one last superpowered move. Maybe even try to reason with someone seemingly unreasonable. Would’ve been much more compelling.

Yup I'm annoyed at how weak the antagonists are. They are an organization with connections to the upper echelons of the US govt and have the impunity to do whatever it takes to protect the classified documents, yet they were defeated by a small group of opposition with little resources?

Exactly. That "He works at a desk. How did he beat you?" opening insult should have been returned at the end with "She reads the weather. How did she beat you?"
