At the very beginning of the opening credits, they use an establishing shot to set the scene of the film. What you see is a diner, and in it a table full of men in suits, one gradually standing up and walking away from the table. After this, the remainding people at the table stand up and follow him out of the diner, the scene then fades to black.

The next thing you see after the black screen, is a long shot of what looks like a parking lot, with a pick up truck in the background, as you slowly start to see the men come into shot from the right side of the screen, all walking together in a big group.

The camera then makes a fast paced cut onto what seems to be the leader of the group, with a close up of his face, it then adds the credits of the actor, and begins to jump between all of the group one by one, informing the audience of the actor in the film. The whole clip is in slow motion as the men walk towards two cars parked on the pavement across from the diner.

Eventually the scene draws to a close, with the shot fading to black, and the rest of the opening credits coming up.
