What could have been a standard heist flick is elevated by the Wachowskis’ hyper-kinetic visual style. Borrowing heavily from the visual lexicon of the Coen Brothers ( Blood Simple ) and adding their own flair, the directors use canted angles, extreme close-ups, and shadow-drenched lighting to turn the apartment building into a labyrinthine prison. The cinematography by Bill Pope (who would later shoot The Matrix ) turns mundane things—a dripping pipe, a severed finger, a ringing phone—into objects of terrifying beauty and suspense.
