  • Burns’s silhouette entering the 712 bar beneath a bridge, with water behind him, is a cinematic-shot choice.
  • The boots beside wrestling magazines during the first killing are another shot choice.
  • The shaving mirror shot with the girlfriend putting on the clothes is another choice.
  • The precinct-night sexual montage is compared to a moving painting, especially its nightstick image.
