It's essential that you tell us more about the characters or the context in order for us (as readers) to know who to cheer for.

Consider a scene ripped from the middle of a(ny) Wolverine story. If we don't know what went before (bad men did very bad things to Wolverine and are threatening to do extremely bad things to him unless he catches and destroys them) then it looks just like your own scenario.

On the other hand, if you add context by either showing what happened before, or telling us something about the characters, then we know who to root for during that scene.

Summary: add character/context for clarity.
