...steal the cancer drug is taut and perfectly paced. Tension is present in every drama-drenched second as Mac and company infiltrate the building utilizing incredible high-tech devices. Yip manages to make all this techno-wizardry compelling rather than obtuse or obnoxious. Multi-hued shades of lighting, smooth-as-butter tracking shots, and perfectly filmed set-ups make the break-in a visual palette of wonders, easily rivaling and occasionally outdistancing any of Tom Cruise’s exploits as a member of the Impossible Mission Force. Reaction shots are exquisitely well-timed, as are numerous quick-cuts that...
