As he hurtles down New York streets, the actor’s alert eyes are as vital in conveying the kinetic geography as is Mitchell Amundsen‘s camera, and Koepp’s occasional time-outs - stopping action to visualize possible routes through vehicle-and-pedestrian chaos before settling on the least hazardous one - are effective in getting us on Wilee’s hyper-perceptive wavelength.
