Original filming, not a great story

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2006)

This film is original, quite violent and shows lot's of great camera and film making work. It is alternative, but not in a European way; a mysterious comic book with somewhat a clumsy story weaving line.
Definitely worth watching if you are the ultimate action movie aficionado and if you are into "special" movie making styles, rated R.
Nail biting and packed with quite the cast, the film is atypical in every way and feels more cult than culture, with it's own fan club and voted high in the ranks of "action" whilst not seeking to qualify for the "typical" action movie.
Some of the stars show totally different sides of their talent; Rourke and Wood's performances are definitely unique.
The story is not great; the film is mostly in black and white. Make sure to get into the right mindset before watching.
