Shaky Camera


This is one instance where I hated it. About one hour 24 minutes into the movie, in his talk with his boss or whoever after the "knockers" line. They are sitting their in the guy's office just talking and the camera is doing that gritty, BS "shaking makes it more real" bit.

Not my cup of tea. People go nuts in a visceral movie that employs the technique, like Bourne Identity, but what about this movie?

"BS 'shaking makes it more real' bit"..???? How can something like a movie be "more(!) real"? "Bit"?? Anyway, it did work because, for one, it was an artistic means to show the transition taking place inside! Bob Crane along with the tone music color dialouge and light. EXCELLENT. This movie has become one of my all time favorites,, along with Alien, Body Heat and Rounders.

Yeah I noticed the change in colour/stock when Crane is in his car waiting for his son to come out of the building. Greg looks excellent with that hair and the tinte d glasses, so slimey.
