About the Film

Main Actors

Jayma MaysBrian Cox

Main Actors

At the start of this film there are a lot of clues given to the audience about the film. However the introduction does not give faces of people away which makes the audience think that there is a secret or ‘dirty’ business going on.There are pictures shown

by the camera shot calling ‘Panning’. This shows the audience the main characters that are involved and shows the lifestyle achievements. This is part of the introduction to the characters.

This shot introduces some information about the owner or one of the family members with the initials of ‘JR’. In this film they stand for Jackson Rippner who is played by Cillian Murphy.

Introduction to characters

These are close up shots in which shows as the wallet with initials of JR. This reveals to the audience the importance of this wallet and to the owner. The sound of the keys placed on the table makes the audience uncomfortable. There is a sound of a water turned on which refers to shower but it does not show the person who has left the wallet or who has gone to the shower. At this point all the focus is on the wallet. We can hear a door screeching which makes the audience feel like another person as entered without anyone's permission as there is no dialogue. The location of this shot is inside a house .There is not much clues given away about the location but we can see that there are pictures of a person which makes the location seem like it is private.

Close up

Point of view shot which gives some information to the audience of what is going on. However still there is not a lot of information passed around which makes the audience want to watch more and find out what exactly is going on.

This shows the audience the character that the whole film will evolve in.

This shows a plan of something important.Point of view

There are some midpoint shots which reveal a dark location and men working fast and quietly which the audience suspicious. At the same time there are introductions displayed of the main actors .There are not a lot of clues given away of the location which makes it seem like a unknown , hidden and private place .The sound is very fast in tempo which makes the audience feel and see a lot of action going on, once again there is no dialogue going on which does not help the audience get a real idea of what is going on.

Midpoint shots

The continuity editing portrays the sense of reality as it moves the story forwards. There is a sound bridge continued on from scene to scene which also portrays the sense of reality and reveal the same wallet but in a different location. This creates the sense of lots of action going on at the same time. The same fast tempo non diegetic sound creates tempo as it portrays the importance of both scenes and the importance of the wallet. The person who has taken the wallet is not revealed which creates mystery and foreshadows the main events of wanting to track this owner of the wallet down. The audience is left with the want and need to solve this mystery and identify the “bad guys” which are later revealed as the main people wanting to destroy this family.The fact that someone can break in to this house and steal a wallet with no struggle show how powerful and strategicall these people are.

Another change in location of the delivered good. We do not get a clear view of the new location but we can assume that this good was delivered fast as it is still dark in the background. This makes the audience think that it is a very important good which needed to be delivered fast.

As we can see there was a box hidden which was revealed at the end of the introduction of all the character and was finished by the directors name.

Both of these things that changed the location are revealed which makes the audience think that there is a big group of people working together fast. This foreshadows the films story which involves a group of people working together to achive their plan of killing Charles and blackmailing assistant of a hotel Lisa into helping them as Jackson has threatened to kill her father.

After attending her grandmother's funeral in Dallas, Texas, Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) takes a red-eye flight to Miami, Florida. While in the check-in line she meets Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy).

When boarding, Lisa discovers that Jackson is on the same flight and seated beside her. After take off, Rippner reveals that he is a terrorist operative working for a group who intends to assassinate the United States Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Charles Keefe (Jack Scalia) and his family.

The assassination plan is to use a portable missile launcher from a boat in a nearby harbor and fire it at the hotel. In order for this to work, Rippner must force Lisa to make a phone call from the in-flight phone and order the hotel staff to change Keefe's reservation to a suite facing the harbor. If she refuses to cooperate, he will deploy a hitman to kill her father, Joe (Brian Cox), at his home in Miami.

Thank you for listening!
