A Guilty Pleasure

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2005)

I had no doubts about this film when I saw it in theaters, and honestly I am glad the way it turned out. It was simply hard-core, riveting and sexily blunt film to be portrayed from comic books. The fine choice in directors was their greatest success and actually having the maker, Frank Miller working with them was certainly a treat. I was concerned about all the big name stars working together because ego might get in the way but they proved me wrong and did sensational together. Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba had some of the best chemistry I have seen but it could have been just a twinge better...Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen give a great performance as a love-hate couple. Even though Johnny Depp was supposed to be in it, I am glad they put Benicio de Toro instead, his acting was flawless for this character!
I must say the visual affects were very well-rounded and the black/white with some color were an ingenious idea making it feel like it was actually a comic book.
