Biggest Weakness?


Mine is the switch between tape and film in this movie.

I'm surprised that the director didn't comment on this during hte commentary. If you watch it, there are a few sequences (most notably the fight scene) where it seems that one camera was using Tape (what they record things like the news on, it's cheaper, and it has that crisp clean look) and another was using Film (the more matte finish that prime-time shows and movies use, it's also more expensive).

My guess would be because it started running over budget, and I think that Adam handled it very well by doing a rapid angle change beforehand to lessen the blow of spotting the switch in mediums, but if I had to pick one big weakness, this would be it-its fairly easy to spot if you watch it closely enough-if you're only paying half attention, then you won't notice it at all, but if you're paying close attention, you definitly spot it.

If anything, I would have choosen the scenes to be shot in film differently. The fight scene, which I think is probably one of the most important scenes should have been in film to make it look polished.
