This is one long extended take with the occasional hidden cut, achieved with careful choreography and extensive use of heavy equipment to control the movement of the camera. It does a good job of pulling the viewer in, giving them an all-seeing omnipotent view of the action taking place within the location for the scene.
The camera floats along, following Uma Thurmon's character as she infiltrates the House of Blue Leaves. It varies quickly from sweeping wide shots to tight close ups simply by reframing or moving in closer to a character. By the end of the impressive sequence, the viewer has been taken on a full 360 view of the space where a big showdown battle is about to occur, effectively selling the geography of the space and the reality of the fictional world contained within.
