State of Play Opening

I am currently watching State of Play and I have just seen the opening which I find to be brilliant. You are opening with a pan follow of a young man running across a street therefore being hit by cars then in to a restaurant braking plates, hitting people and falling over. The man seems to be in panic and scarred which makes the audience think why is he running? and what danger is he in?.
Then the man is hiding and he suddenly gets shot and the viewer sees the murderer and then an innocent civilian goes by and then the man shots him. I find the opening really depressing but action packed and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat which makes a good thriller film. The extreme close up of the young man who was shot then the effects and lighting changes so its red which represents blood and the lighting is very bright. The titles are then on the low right hand corner.
Judging on the opening the film looks really good. Now I am going to get back to the movie.
