What does the cinematography of Universal Soldier look like?

Across 33 sampled frames, Universal Soldier builds its coverage from medium shots, with wide compositions carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Karl Walter Lindenlaub keeps much of it in soft, low-key light. Most of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Focus stays shallow in most of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in the 1990s.
