As the production was filming in digital, the latest anamorphic lenses were used to soften and bring volume to the images. The effect is similar to 35mm camera lenses used around thirty years ago and seemed entirely appropriate for a film that harkens back to a Cold War style. One visual effect was achieved by using "tilt and shift" lenses, which created out-of-focus areas to create a slightly dreamlike quality. In a film that is so fast moving and action based, much Steadicam was used, as well as car and quad-bike mounted camera rigs. One scene saw cinematographer Romain Lacourbas riding backwards on the back of a motorcycle to get the required sense of speed and immediacy needed for a car chase. As for all the CIA drone tracking shots, they were filmed by drones flying overhead, and tracking the cast members through busy streets and markets. Lacourbas said: "Audiences no longer care so much about camera shake and changing angles in action sequences, but they want to feel that they are really inside the action, so we used lots of different ways to get the audience right into the heart of everything."
