Dark, Scary, Depressing, and Satisfying as Hell

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2019)

Everyone wants a dark comic book adaptation but once they get it, they complain about how dark and disturbing it is. That's the point. This is a movie about a man with a very severe mental illness who has been corrupted by the world around him. This is not a superhero movie, but a deep and angry meditation on loneliness, abandonment, and being bullied. It's a very scary movie, but that's what made it so damn good. I didn't have doubts about this film and others shouldn't either. It's a pure, nihilistic, and utterly cataclysmic crime epic powered by a searing performance from Phoenix.
B+
