The opening of the film uses British gangster elements such as locations and costumes takes influence from Se7en and Layer Cake. Film noir elements are also incorporated such as the intelligent character dressed smartly. It establishes both characters by showing they are the opposite of each other. There is not much dialogue with the location and characters used to establish. Enigma is created through camerawork. Taking inspiration from Alice Creed the cinematography will be slow and continuous to represent the passing of time.
