[Dewey Singleton on Thomas Townend]: (About You Were Never Really Here) The action sequences in the film are white-hot. Cinematographer Thomas Townend is a big reason why, as he used camera angles to create the illusion of seeing things through the eyes of Joe and his attackers. There is something bone-chilling about seeing Joe’s perspective as he creeps up on these kidnappers and bludgeons them with a hammer. Townend is effective in his use of close-ups which allows us to see the pain tormenting our hero.
