Directing style
Leitch builds tense, ominous action-thrillers primarily within night interiors, framing characters at eye level through medium shots and closeups rendered with a shallow depth of field. His lighting setups favor practical fixtures, neon sources, and window light over daylight, casting a cool, desaturated color grade that is occasionally punctuated by warm tones. The resulting palette leans heavily into dark slates, muted teals, and deep forest greens, sharply contrasted by aggressive, blood-red accents.
