He managed to do, I thought, really gripping, compelling kinds of action scenes out of stuff where you’re always rooted in what the character’s thinking, what they want to do, what their conflict is.
That was really a new way of doing it for me, and I really liked it.
One of the nice things about J.C. [Chandor], in his directing, is that it’s always really based in sort of the characters and what they would do.
So it never felt to me like it veered into experiences I’ve had where it became really compartmentalized, just about where you’re holding the gun and where’s the explosion and stuff.
