The film boldly experiments with camera angles, editing, long…

The use of slow, protracted shots, long tracking shots, extreme camera angles and sound effects were effectively used in some scenes that help build a special kind of suspense allowing the audience to be…

The automobiles glow luminously against the non-specular backdrops of the drab brick work shops that border the streets of the cruising circuit.
