Jason Bourne starts this film by hobbling at night time with street lamps lighting the streets. The light makes the action more dramatic. He is in Moscow and the ground has snow on it. The music is fast and builds up tension. There are different shots of him hobbling towards the train station. They only last for a few seconds for each shot. This keeps up the suspense of where his is going. While he is trying to get the station, police sirens become more prominent. When he gets onto the train, there is lots of noise from police running. This also creates tension. There no lighting in the train or when he exits it onto the tracks. The makes you think about were he is. The he jumps out of the train and disappears into the night.
