Recently picked up the blu-ray for this and rewatched it. Feels like this gets swept under the rug since Fincher has so many hits but this is still such an economical and precise thriller with some big ass set pieces and great photography by Harris Savides. I think this is just such a sturdy ass movie with a neat concept. Watch this if you haven't!
