Shyamalan was pretty hot for a a while (and I enjoyed his first few movies), but then had a few duds and everyone stopped talking about his work. Nice to see you looking into this, and it does look well-shot, matching an interesting premise.
A while back I saw a video on the Bourne movies - fairly revolutionary at the time, but it set a trend of fast-paced shots where you lose track of the action. In those movies it made sense to heighten the sense of the frantic and desperate unknown sense of self , but the style just made things messy when copied forward into other action movies (John Wick though pushed back against this with longer cuts in the action scenes). Anyway, once that was pointed out, you can't help but see if nearly everywhere.
It's nice to see Shyamalan taking his time to build the tension and better control the pacing. (And Bautista, despite being a massive brute, is a damned good actor when given serious roles!)
I agree with all that you said :)
I recently watched the Terminal List and I was intrigued by the filming techniques they used to signify certain things and how they did many of the shots. Even if you don't make a vid out of it, you should give t a watch, if you haven't already.
