The scenes are packed with gory dramatic statements oscillating between loud violent action and pin drop suspense filled vacuum between urban and rural settings.
Writer-director-editor Gareth Evans may be considered as a trendsetter who offers set action pieces with artistic flare. The way his shots and sequences are designed and executed onscreen is remarkable. The in-prison battle in wet mud slush, the street fights, the terror caused by the hammer wielding dumb and deaf girl in the metro along with a boy brandishing a metal baseball bat in an industrial estate and the sword and gun fights in the speeding automobile - each piece excels the previous set.
Loaded with shades of grey, visually, the camera frames are taut and astonishing. What's more? It captures action is claustrophobic space, with top angle shots especially when over fifteen goons pile up in a toilet cubicle in the prison or when Rama is fighting in the car.
