Disappointed is the Sin of this City

Rating: 2/10 (6 April 2005)

I wish I could say otherwise, but 5 minutes into this movie, I was bored with what I was seeing.
It is a flat landscape of people that have not been lifted from the 2 dimensional page world of the comic book. In film, one needs more than what was offered here. This film relies heavily on its "look" and in so doing, lacks any meaningful or engaging content.
The narration is heavy handed and is one more flat layer added to an already cardboard world. If it were interesting cardboard, that would be good. At best the narration is distracting- it would have been better had the characters been engaged with one another.
I really wanted to like this movie, and stayed through the entire thing hoping that there would be something redeeming in it. I left feeling cheated of my time and my money.
