Move over Tarantino!!!

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2005)

WOW WOW WOW!!! This is by far and away the greatest comic adaptation ever made. if anything this year matches this then it would have to be some film, i mean even Josh Hartnett came across as being cool!! The way Rodriguez has filmed this and added his own flavour to film noir is breathtaking in its originality, to take the age old black and white film put it on green screen and add spats of colour made this a visual feast. The story's were all awesome in there portrayal but the standout was Mickey Rourkes Marv, a likable hard man who is framed for the murder of a girl he has only known for a few hours but feels such a strong connection to her that he swears vengeance, and sets out on a mission to kill who ever is behind her murder. the cast in this film is perfect, Clive Owens Dwight, Bruce Willis' Hartigan, Jessica Alba's Nancy and Rosario Dawsons Gail are all brilliant but the magnificent Marv is still the standout character that everyone will remember, a spin off would be much appreciated Mr Rodriguez.
To the people who slate this film i say this, don't come to see films with 18 certificates and then complain about sex and violence, i mean there not called GRAPHIC novels for nothing!!!
