The film opening begins with 3 black screens with white titles over it. It then moves onto a craned shot of 2 characters. At this point, a voice over is heard and a two-shot of the characters is viewed. The voice over is done by Turkish, one of the two characters. Turkish is explaining the story and setting the scene. He tells us about his character and the character sat next to him. Turkish then explains how he was a boxer, until a week ago. This create enigma because we begin to question why until a week ago?
The scene then moves onto Arabic dressed people. There is traditional Arabic sounding music is played in the background as the characters talk among their selves, this then changed into sound perspective of the characters as they enter the lift.
The fight scene then begins and the music matches the pace of action, and the music is still in keeping with the Arabian theme. Medium and long shots are used in this fight scene to create the setting and show the action that is going on. The editing transitions used in this particular scene are mainly spiral and sliding ones, all of which are used to good effect.
