While the actor was filming the scene, traffic flow in the areas around Westminster Bridge was regulated to reduce, to serve the film crew’s activities.

Previously, actor Tom Cruise often had scenes running at full speed in the movies he participated in. Since entering the film industry in 1981 until now, Tom Cruise has been diligently running in frames on the silver screen for the past 43 years.

In fact, on the social network account “.

Running has become an “identifying” detail for Tom Cruise’s roles. Viewers may think that the running scene is done very simply, the actors just need to run like crazy and the camera pans, but that’s not the case. Filming the running scene was actually very difficult.

The main actor, supporting actors and moving objects entering the frame of the running scene must have the same speed, so as not to cause a phase difference in the performance.

In addition, when actors move too fast, the image will lose its sharpness and aesthetics. If you just let the actors run as normal, then adjust the speed to make the scene slower, the scene will become very forced, funny, completely losing action and feeling of speed.

Therefore, what needs to be done is that Tom Cruise will have to slow down, so that the scene is beautiful and sharp. However, in terms of expressions and movements, Tom Cruise still has to act as if he is running at full speed, running for “more than life or death”. You have to somehow “deceive” the viewer’s feelings.

The requirement for these running scenes is that the actors must appear as if they are running very fast, but in reality they are only running… “barely”. To execute the running scene perfectly without having to reshoot too many times, requires an actor who is really experienced with running scenes.

Action movies are often not highly appreciated by film critics in terms of art, a big reason is because people think that in action movies, actors mainly just chase, kick, scream… with little acting depth.
