The use of bold colors—reds, blacks, and yellows—serves to draw the viewer's eye and evoke a sense of danger and intensity. The poster design conveys a feeling of chaos and an emphasis on a dangerous world.
Symbolism and Meaning
The inclusion of elements such as city skylines and shadowy figures in the background adds another layer of depth, hinting at the criminal underworld and urban decay that forms the backdrop of the film's narrative.
