I could watch this with the sound turned off and still enjoy it just for it's excellent camerawork. Loved the anamorphic lensing, the processing, the glossy look at times. And of course, it was shot by the master, Freddie Francis, R.I.P.

I may be the only person who feels this way but I find it very annoying. The best instance is when Nick Nolte is brushing his teeth while talking to his wife. I suppose one could praise it for the technical craftsmanship, but I do not want Nolte's face shoved into my face. I also don't like hand held cameras that swing in and out and around about. This certainly didn't look like a Scorsese film.
Keeping people straight since 1958. No need to thank me - I already know you are grateful. -

Came here to say the same thing. It's all techniques he's used before, only they're much more subdued in his other films. I feel like the constant tension and suspense allowed him to turn the camera into a character itself to help bridge the gap between the audience and characters. Fantastic stuff.
