Gripping, surreal, fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2013)

Where to begin... Well, I LOVED this movie. It was one of those films I played night after night to fall asleep to. The use of black, white, and red was so brilliant. I found myself sympathizing with several characters. It especially broke my heart to see my darling Brittany Murphy perform so perfectly knowing she's gone. R.I.P. princess.
Basin City is a stinking, rotting, malevolent cesspool of filth and darkness. There are three story lines each containing a generous amount of violence, wit, and raw human emotion. Then again, the characters of Basin City seem almost emotionally exhausted. Perhaps what I mean to say is the portrayal of humans who have hit rock bottom is spot on in this film. Each main character has a very dark past and their current mission is one of pure revenge while some may view it as retribution.
Personally, I was fully engaged in this movie from start to finish. I can almost guarantee you wont fully comprehend every aspect of this film from one viewing. This is one of those flicks that you'll find yourself going back to more than twice.
