At 5:18, the line “you owe me nothing” is delivered whilst the camera films the back of the protagonist’s head. Works so fucking well.
The director shows an ability to work with surprising camera angles and still deliver. Another example is the fight with two opponents filmed downwards with the protagonist at the far end and on lower ground. Also the end of the boss fight is concluded by filming the underside of the protagonist’s foot stomping downwards.
Would love to see what he can do in a typical drama film, not sci-fi. For example, how about two lovers arguing but we never see their faces, it’s just their voices and body language.
