Nice preview. It looks like one of those openings that'll simmer for a while, then explode into action. Can't wait to watch it 'real time' in a couple of weeks. My only beef is the way the split screen is used, I just think it's being done a bit lazily in recent times, both in Redemption and these opening minutes. I thought it was meant to show events building at the same time, or people's reactions to the same thing, but instead they'll show two angles of the same thing just for the sake of having the shots, like the judge talking to Jack. There's lots of moments when I'm watching a scene play out and thinking I'd love to see this and that together, that'd work really well to build some tension, but it's rarely done. I know the production schedule is tight so maybe there just isn't time for thinking so much about filming for split screen. Oh well, I still love it, the original and the best US import for me.
