didn't need the flashing and the jumpy camera

I agree somewhat, he could have cut back on it. A little is fine tho imo, makes it stand out from a run of the mill revenge flick.

I found that rather annoying too, but otherwise I liked the film.

i agree but i feel like it works during creasy's attempted suicide and it had a max payne 3 vibe to it aswell

i found it pretty annoying after watching it for the first time in 2020, but if i watched back in 2004? maybe not. Seems the jittery camera and flashing are more common in films lately than back then.

Meh, it’s kinda Tony Scott’s style. It’s not my cup of tea but he makes it work.

Good god, that was awful. The movie also went on for way too long.

Unfortunately, That was Director Tony Scott's 'thing' or 'style' or whatever. Especially in his later films. Love most of his films but yeah, that sh*t was unnecessary & annoying
