Amazing film from McGuigan, 3 thumbs up

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2007)

Everything about this crime/film noir/comic adaptation by Paul McGuigan is what its supposed to be. Don't be mislead by the IMDb rating of 7.8... it should be higher. I liked this film way more than even Sin City (one of my favorites) or 300 (which i rated at 9/10). This film was directed very well, written superbly by Smilovic and shot very well stylistically by Peter Sova. I thought Hartnett was good in the lead but the standouts were Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley as mob bosses from two rival families (blacks and jews), and also Bruce Willis as hit-man, Mr. Goodkat. Lucy Liu was also surprisingly not annoying here. THis film is one of my instant favorites.
