Why watch this?
This engrossing film is really a work of art, albeit it's stylized violence.
Plot Summary:
This story follows a dark, crime-ridden metropolis where several
tough, interconnected characters seek their own form of justice
and redemption. Stories intertwine, focusing on a detective's
efforts to protect a young woman, a brute's quest for revenge
after the murder of his beloved, and a private investigator
caught in a conflict involving powerful forces.

Dad's Preview:
Equally as unique as Frank Miller's graphic novel by the same
name, this homage-to-noir crime-fest is
visually stunning. Presenting in primarily black-and-white,
stark
colors are infused for effect - red, blue, yellow. There is brutal violence, so be
warned. It is also jam-packed with top-notch actors who bring to life
several quasi-related segments. My favorite character is
Mickey Rourke's, Marv, a stone-faced killer, who lives by his
warped moral
code and has a serious crush on blondes. |
