Bad Camera Work

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2004)

The acting, story, and plot were awesome. The only thing I have to complain about is the camera work was horrible... almost every shot was shaky, even the ones where the characters were just talking and not otherwise moving. On top of that most shots were too close for my comfort. The camera would have to swing around too much to show what they wanted when a wider shot would have done nicely. The fight scenes and car chases suffered in my opinion do to the close shots. In the theater, I sat close to the front, and had to close my eyes for a while to ward off motion sickness. There were a couple of people at the theater who got up during the car chase at the end who didn't look so hot. I was almost one of them.
