This is not a deep psychological study. But it’s a sober, grown-up film. It has action, but not the hyperkinetic activity that passes for action in too many American movies. It has sex, but not eroticism. Its male lead is brave and capable, but not macho. Its female lead is sexy in the abstract, perhaps, but not seductive or alluring. This is a movie about characters who have more important things to do than be characters in an action thriller.

“There’s no doubt that this racoon-makeup, her war paint, was something that was semi-inspired by Blade Runner. But, I wanted it to look like a mask that she could just take, you know, some grease paint on her black gloves and just smeared into her eyes and go, ‘Okay. I’m ready now. I’m hidden enough. I can respond now in a way that I always wanted to respond.’ ” -David Fincher, TGWTDT commentary
