“Gilliam also brought in intimacy/fight director Z F Norris, who did a tremendous job with Hinson and Flint, making their physical clashes feel real, and even pulling off a couple tricks (including one with a sledgehammer) that I’m not sure how it worked, it was so perfectly set from the audience’s perspective.”
