Our Step-by-Step breakdown of what happens in our opening scene:
by Adrianna, Tegan and Anna
Girl walks into the elevator, and presses the button for level 3, with an envelope in hand.
There is a voice heard, shouting for her to “Hold the door!” and a man slides through the closing elevator doors right at the last moment.
Noticing that she’s already pressed his level, he mentions it to her, “going to the same level I see? Where are you headed?” She responds with apartment D2, his apartment. He finds this peculiar, and begins to question her.
However, when she realises she has been caught, she has to act quickly as the man has now seen her and is highly suspicious, she panics, and in a quick, split-second decision, she lunges at him and they fight.
Engaging in a quick combat scene, punches are thrown and suddenly this once perhaps overlooked woman begins to exhibit her agility and strength, dodging punches and using her opponent's strength against him. He punches through the elevator wall, getting his hand stuck in the side. With him sufficiently trapped, she bashes his head against the wall.
Wiping the blood from her brow, she as consequently she managed to kill her opponent, although she wasn’t perfect. Her fight scene was messy and disorganized, leaving both characters and shambles. It is clear she isn’t as experienced as other action movie heroes might be, the rest of the film would be about her learning from her initial mistakes and really mastering her craft.
The sequence finishes with a man lying on the floor of the lift, dead. The woman grabs her envelope again, however she looks up and notices something in the corner of her eye, a CCTV camera. It had recorded everything.
