A Gothic show of ultra-violence.

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2006)

It's not a conventional movie. It's mixing comic book style with splatter B-movies with film-noir elements. The result is a Gothic show of ultra-violence. The characters are bizarre night creatures living in the sin under a non-stop heavy rain and stormy weather. Incredible camera angles, specially in scenes over the roofs of the skyscrapers. Comic action in the fights, the car chases and the acrobatic movements of the characters. A good tribute to Frank Miller (the man who transformed the Daredevil Marvel comic book). Predominant black and white on grey landscapes but plenty of deep red over the scenes. If you like comics, it worths. It's not recommended if you dislike the kind of Sci-Fi stories with people resisting more than five bullet into the body.
