The medium close-up angle allows the audience to see the character's emotions.The fact that this is still a close-up helps the audience to engage with the story but still wait in anticipation as the shot doesn't give too much of the story away. The uniform that they are wearing indicates to the audience that these people are of high importance. This builds tension because it helps the audience to realise that these people are after Tom Cruise. The shot is wide enough for the the audience to see the police force in full bulk, this creates a sense of fear because it shows that there are many of them and only one Tom also because large numbers are associated with dominance. 

This establishing shot shows a rusty car and what looks to be an abandoned alley way. This shows that Tom has nowhere else to run and is running without thinking about where he is going to go and what he is going to do. Alley ways are associated with darkness and danger this makes us think that something is about to happen and adds suspense to the film. The abandoned scaffolding and choice of lighting used in this shot highlights the fact that the area is unsafe. Alley ways usually lead to a dead end so from this we can then interpret that Cruise is feeling like he is trapped and that he knows that the time will soon come when the authorities catch up to him and inside he knows that his current choice of an escape route is only temporary.

This close-up gives the audience an insight into how Tom is feeling. We can tell from his pessimistic facial expression that he has finally been caught. However, judging by the sneaky look on his face the audience can easily interpret that he is already thinking about new ways to escape, and is quickly devising a devious plan to help pull him away from the clutches of the law. The shot still enables us to see the background, the view of the background reminds the audience where he is and indicates to them that he is not yet free and has not yet managed to escape as he is still trapped in the dark alleyway. This alley way could be a reflection of the way Tom feels at this point in time. He may feel dark, trapped and as if there is no hope for him.
