The character first comes into office with henchmen…this makes sense it’s an establishing shot that he’s someone not good although the scar-faced villain trope is a bit problematic 

And this is the next scene he’s in where he pushes a guy into the street and you can almost rationalize the face shot except there’s a segment of him walking into the frame too instead of the typical just showing the villain pushing the guy into the street

Followed a few scenes later by this which is normally the kind of scene you’d use for the character to deliver an insightful line but this was just for a facial closeup?

And next time he appears is in this scene which clearly has some dramatic lighting on his face

And a little later the main characters almost run him over

Not a full-on closeup, but this was his second bit of dialogue in the whole movie and it was basically a strangely extended scene of him on the phone with Ed Harris’s character

Okay this one is actually a cool shot

Extended sequence of him driving the bullet-riddled car

And finally the scene before the car explodes where his struggle to escape makes it almost seem like we’re supposed to be sympathetic to his plight? Which I mean the death sequence could have been easily achieved through just showing the car rolling over and exploding without showing him inside it
