  • The layered interrogation reflection with Jack, Dudley, Exley and the waiting suspect is selected.
  • The split-diopter DA shot, Exley raising his badge in shadow, and police cars cresting the hill are praised.
  • The zoom framing Bud and Exley facing off in the street is nominated.
  • The moving camera contrasts the group comforting Stensland with isolated Exley; Bud above Patchett on the putting green visually divides them.
