However, the cinematography was not as impressive as the cinematography in the first one. The reason for the less impressive cinematography was that the film used close-ups and shoulder angles instead of high angles and overhead shots. These decisions result in the cinematography being generic and inferior to that in the first film.

The music in the movie remained impressive, playing at a vivace pace that effectively created tension between scenes.

The last notable aspect of the film was the acting. While it was nothing worthy of a Best Actor or Best Actress award, it was still remarkable, as the actors delivered genuinely fantastic emotional scenes with smooth yet stuttering line delivery and distinguished reactions to the situations.
